Some of the new uniforms looks plain GAY. If that is good or bad, not for me to decide, but the shape is not really militaristic but rather something that, as stated, would fit better somewhere else.
I am just guessing, but I assume these old veterans
a) do not wear the uniforms each day, maybe a handful of times per year
b) do not gain, nor lose, substantial body-weight over the years
c) have the possibility to get a new uniform if needed
that is why they have uniforms that fit good and look good. I am more curious over the various uniform types used; some have wartime era service uniforms, some have 1950s parade uniforms, some have 1980s uniforms, some have wartime uniform in combination with present day Russian federation visor caps ... a melting pot of army wear :-)

as for the rest of the pictures, exemplary! fantastic to see so many veterans!
a question about what they are wearing, some have their parade uniforms on, some, duty uniforms, some walking out uniforms, but all of them fit still! even if they all retired in the 80's and had a new uniform made for them the day they retired you would expect a lot of ill-fitting uniforms. do you think they have them tailored once a year? or is there another possible explanation
