The Red Army in WWII, was supplied from a patch work of garment production sources ranging from large, industrialized clothing factories, to small workshops (Artels), to even garments made in the field. These pilotkas are reproductions of examples made in small workshops from cloth that was had on hand.
Made from some of the last remaining tricot we have on hand (we got this from Russia in 2022, so once its gone, it’s gone), and lined with a variety of civilian cloth, these reproductions are a great example of the individuality found in Soviet war time garments.
