Slap together MVD overcoat & hat?

[deValcourt]

I see this all the time. An overcoat/great coat with the lapel tabs fitting flush with the stitching rather than all the way to the end of the lapel like in the uniform manual prinited in 1988 by the Soviet Military. So which is it?:confused:

Now about this coat. The first picture is just terrible, I know. But the second one shows the "true colors" of both the hat and the coat. In my limited experience with uniforms, these would not be worn together. Moreover, it doesn't even look like an MVD hat. It looks more like army to me.

The coat's shoulder boards are MVD, but what about the coat itself? It looks like most of the light-grey parade coats, but in the bad lighting it appears to have a bluish tint to it. If that's the case, I want one.:D

Thanks,
