The Russian Soviet Army Winter Pants, dated 1974, are an example of standard-issue military cold weather gear used by Soviet forces during the Cold War era. Constructed from heavy-duty wool-blend fabric, these pants were designed to provide insulation and durability in harsh winter conditions. The trousers feature a high-waisted cut, button fly, and reinforced seat and knees, reflecting the utilitarian approach of Soviet military outfitting. Adjustable suspenders and ankle ties are included for a secure and functional fit. Markings, including the date “1974,” size, and manufacturer stamps, are typically found on the inside lining, confirming their authenticity and year of issue. These pants were commonly issued to Soviet ground troops and are representative of the clothing style and material technology adopted by the USSR military during the 1970s. They remain a notable artifact for collectors and historians studying Soviet-era uniform and equipment standards.
