Introduced in 1998, the Russian Flora pattern known as VSR-98 is a derivative of the earlier Soviet Pattern known as dubok, or 3-TsV. It was introduced as the mainstay camouflage pattern for both the conventional units of the Russian Armed Forces along with the Ministry of Internal Affairs until the introduction of the pixelated pattern Edinaya maskirovochnaya rascvetka or EMR was introduced.
This parka was found on the back of many Soviet conscripts during the earlier days of the Russian Federation in it's numerous 'special operations' in former Soviet Republics. This Parka might not be bullet proof but with the internal liner and drawstring it'll keep you warmer than your babushka serving you your 7th shot of vodka, with the plus that its removable if the Russian Winter ever warms up. With its stowable hood and fur collar, along with a draw string adjustable hem, you'll stay nice and toasty (not that a true Red Blooded Comrade needs the help). Its durable Cotton/Nylon outer layer is wind and water resistant, with the added benefit of reinforced elbows for added durability.
Perfect for Larping as a Russian conscript back when it was more politically accepted to do so.

Sizing
We've translated the native Russian sizing into US sizes. If you're between sizes, it isn't a bad idea to size up. For heights, the parka generally fits long (it's a parka, after all).
