Russian special forces used to use SS camo for some reason. Maybe still do! Must confuse their opponents who think they're the good guys!

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, the label with the inscription in Russian "made in China, I wish you fun" is just hilarious

The fact that Partizan camo = SS camo is also nonsense for those who are not in the know

Similar at least in pattern (of camo not garment) and definitely inspired by some legend of partisans using captured SS camo items I'd say. Like all things Russian it's hard to get a clear history (on Google it's impossible to find anything from a Russian POV- it's forbidden speech) of why they decided in 2004 to start using it.

Thanks mate!

I should mention that like most fabric/leather WWI flying coats it's belted but I've secured the belt at the back as I didn't feel like having it belted - I do the same often with my Aero Barnstormer.

My wife LOVES it which is a major plus, she calls it my Lord Flashheart jacket bless her

Actually women here seem to like it as I've gotten quite a few lovely comments from the fairer sex when I wear it. I suppose it makes a change from all the parkas and puffy down jackets that people usually wear when the weather gets cold.

Well if you Wife feels that way then this coat is a keeper for sure!!!
