Quality Coat
I bought this for my dad and he really likes it (so do I).
A good, heavy, well-made and warm Bulgarian button-up. The material and piping colours go well together and add a nice detail with the star buttons and Sportsmen badges.
Sure to make any distinguished gentleman look like a smart officer.
Pros: Comfortable pockets, Buttons up, Looks good, Warm
Cons: Ichy cuffs
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Not Soviet but Bulgarian
An excellent item and very warm. A litle disappointed to discover it was Bulgarian Issue and not Soviet Russian but only an expert would know the difference. Have replaced the dark buttons with brass and added a arm badge which really set it off. Altogether a good purchase.
Pros: Great wool smell, Very warm, Authentic look
Cons: Bulgarian, not Russian
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Smart warm coat
I got one of these to wear while riding my Russian motorcycle to charity events. It's made of thick warm, wool and looks pretty smart. Unfortunately, I bought the largest size available (43), but it's a tad tight, so I may have to return it or move the 6 buttons. I really like the look & feel of this, but need one size larger, so haven't worn it outside the house yet!
Pros: Nice smell of mothballs!, Nice badges & epaulettes, Authentic heavy feel, Great looks
Cons: Small for a 43
Sizing: Feels small
Would recommend: Yes
