1970s USSR Student Workwear Jacket

Regular price $330.00 Sale price $260.00

A personal piece from the Soviet student movement of the late 1970s.

This jacket traces back to a 1978-1979 student work brigade (ССО) from Kharkiv — a time when university students were sent across the country for seasonal labor. What began as standard-issue workwear slowly turned into something much more individual.

Layer by layer, it was transformed by its owner: hand-painted markings, stitched patches, names, dates, fragments of memory. The outer surface carries bold, expressive lettering, while the inside reveals a quieter layer — worn inscriptions and faded notes, now mostly unreadable, like a private archive that time has partially erased.

The fabric shows a deep, natural fade, with areas polished by use and softened through years of wear. It holds the texture of lived experience — not decoration, but accumulation.

This is not a uniform anymore.
It’s a document.

There is not a single button.
