1960s Soviet Thrashed Work Jacket

An original Soviet work jacket constructed from dense cotton twill, once deep black and now naturally faded into uneven shades of charcoal and ash grey. Years of physical work, repeated washing and exposure have softened the fabric and left a unique surface of worn lines, pale areas and embedded traces of use.

The original collar is missing, leaving a raw, frayed neckline that gives the otherwise traditional workwear construction a striking unfinished silhouette. Several burn holes, abrasions and distressed edges remain throughout the shoulders and body.

Heavily worn but structurally preserved—a deeply individual piece of utilitarian clothing, transformed by time, labour and accidental damage into something that could never be reproduced intentionally.
