There are a number of these old soviet military uniform coats for sale online for decent prices esp. for a sheepskin coat. I found one in my size but I am debating if it is just too silly. I am tired of being cold.

I wear a decent number of leather coats and great coats but nothing that is this much of a statement. I have no fantasies about being in the Red Army or whatever but it would be kind of neat to have the historical connection.

looks like a normal coat to me, I would never guess it's even a military uniform

The only people who would be able to tell that this is a Soviet coat are people who would think it is cool. Other people would just see a nice warm coat.

No, you should get it if you like it

"Being LARPy" is usually just a rephrasing of "being cringe", or at best, the worst possible way to think about how you might be using consumption habits as a substitute to satisfy your desire to help bring about real, revolutionary change

Ofc there are many situations in which wearing something like a hammer and sickle hat (this isn't even close to that in overtness though) will undermine your political effectiveness lol, but I'm tired of the policing of people's interests and I'm especially tired of the cop-wolf inside me that I continually struggle with from doing years and years of masking who keeps telling me I'm cringe for liking things

You should get it :3

Edit: btw if you like Soviet fashion more broadly, you should check out Lady Izdihar on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@LadyIzdihar), she has some of the best Soviet-inspired outfits I have ever seen, from maximum "LARP" quality to minimum "LARP" quality lol, all while making genuinely informative and original videos about rarely covered topics and uploading lost books

Trying to not hate myself as much lately, talk the cop-wolf into relaxing, just let myself enjoy things (things which are primarily harmless, I refuse to be classed solely as a "treat defender")

If I could afford a couple I’d wear a bunch of ushankas around and I don’t care if it’s cringe they’re cool hats!

I don't think this is a statement. I used to wear a british red jacket daily during my punk and heavy drugs years. Rather similar to this one:

You'll be fine.

I have no fantasies about being in the Red Army or whatever

I should have said 'no pretensions about being...' lol

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Are you kidding? That thing is so cool

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

i doubt your standard commoner (even i was not aware of historical ties) on the street will be aware of the ties to the ussr, purchase it if it makes you happy and you can do so comfortably. i would have assume you thrifted it

That's a military outfit??? Looks way too comfy and non-military looking

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago
