Vintage "Soviet" Wool Prop Shirts
Nine out of ten Wolverines would not recommend this jacket.
The Cold War blocked the trade of many goods and services, especially military surplus. Seeking to portray the enemy as a bunch of evil, oafish invaders certainly didn't help grease the wheels of commerce either.
When film studios needed to cast Soviet baddies, they had to get resourceful. These are early sixties Bundeswehr uniforms rebadged and buttoned to resemble Soviet M69 field dress. While these pieces are identical to the props used in Red Dawn, the items listed here came from Costume Rentals Corp; Sony seems to be marked on pieces actually used for the film.
No matter their provenance, these props were once authentic Cold War surplus that became a tangible piece of that very era's propaganda. German jackets issued during the Berlin Crisis evolved into Hollywood garb for American fantasy.
