I can give my opinion on it.
Overall i think it looks strange and pieced together so to speak. I have never seen so much of the white "hand/rough" stitching on WW2 period Gym's. I have seen it on trousers/Galiffe. Especially on pre-war ones. Maybe it's the pics, but the cuffs look shorter than normal. The collar also look a bit strange. For WW2 i would think the buttons should be metal and not plastic. Wait for more opinions
I had a WW2 pilot's Gym i have sold now. I will post some pics for comparison. The wound stripes on my Gym is made by the Officer himself and are period applied.

To me it looks like a theater made sample. Please provide us with a more and close up pictures. At least I want to see the cloth type

Hand stitchings was a wide used technology in tailored examples, but thread starter Gimnasterka are too bad quality for a tailored example.

I agree Dimas.
Cheers mate
Construction (seams) is very strange, the cloth seems similar to the blouses
with plastic buttons in the last years just before the 1969 reform .
