M43 Gymnasterki with FOUR button closure?

[RichieC]

I have been meaning to share this for a good while now. I however, misplaced the photos and finally found them during a recent revamp. I credit Dom for supplying me with this third image.

The images seem to speak for themselves, so if anybody out there has ANY info on these, please disclose all you have.

I'll get better quality and more comprehensive images of the two, and another that I did not photograph - hopefully later in the week or next weekend.

First example - this one is made from a lightweight brown coloured wool:

Second example - this is made from an olive coloured heavyweight wool:

Nothing to add Richie, due of a lot of artel's made gimnasterkas, the local technologist made his own decision how to made them. As much of them are private tailored too

Interesting Indeed Richie Unfortunately i do not have info at the moment. Anyway it looks like NKVD with internal pockets?

Hi Richie

Better late than never...

Good things come to those who wait !

The pockets are made with the same fabric, it is not common.
Small Artel ? Maybe Dimas or someone else may tell us more ?

Thank you for showing

Neither are Gymnasterki with four button closures...
