1980s Soviet Air Force VVS Technician Jacket

An original late-Soviet VVS ground technician jacket, factory-dated 1986. This heavy protective outerwear was issued to aviation personnel servicing aircraft on exposed military airfields, offering protection from wind, oil and severe cold.

Constructed from dense black cotton canvas with a protective impregnated finish, the jacket is exceptionally heavy and insulated. Decades of wear have created an expressive surface of ash-grey creases, softened edges and pale marks following every fold of the fabric.

The functional construction includes a sturdy metal zipper, additional snap fastening, angled pockets and a high protective collar. A lightweight hood is concealed inside a compartment at the back of the collar.

Minor traces of age and use remain throughout.

Please do not expect the garment to be new or in perfect condition; there may be minor defects (used clothing).
