M35 Officer Wool Gimnasterka is the typical uniform issued to Officers / Commissars of the Soviet Red Army from 1935 to 1943. This pattern of Officer / Commissar Uniform has Turn Downed Collar with 2 hooks for closure, Buttoned Patch Pockets and the Collar / Cuff Edgings which was introduced to Red Army in 1935, for the first time the Red Army adopted Personal Ranking System. There was no major change to the Officer Uniform when the personal ranking system was modified in 1940. This Uniform was used in the various pre-WW2 military operations and in the early stage of the “Great Patriotic War”. It was subsequently replaced by the M43 Uniform in 1943.

The M35 Officer Tunic was worn with a pair of Navy Blue Officer Breeches (with Piping / Edging) or a pair of Khaki Officer Breeches (with or without Piping / Edging). According to the Red Army Uniform Regulation, the Officer Tunic had to be used with M32 or M35 Officer Leather Belt Kit and should not be worn with Straight Leg Trousers. Combat Field Gear was allowed to use with this Officer Gimnasterka.

Belt not provided






Unlike the EM / NCO Uniform, the M35 Officer / Commissar Uniform do NOT have the Reinforced Elbow Patch. Moreover, the Chest Patch Pocket of the Officer Uniform is the “float” version while the EM / NCO version has only fixed chest patch pockets.

The M35 Wool Tunic has Crimson Piping / Edging around the collar and the cuff. It represented the Infantry Branch and this color piping was also adopted by the Logistic / Supply Officer and Military Judiciary Officer of the Red Army. In addition, the NKVD Infantry Officer (for example: the Border Guard Troops and Interior Troops) also used Crimson Piping / Edging but with different color collar tabs. The M35 Officer Wool Tunic can be worn with M35 and M40 Officer / Commissar Rank Insignia.



The M35 Officer Uniform was either made of Wool and Cotton Fabric. Many collectors believed that the cotton uniform was the summer version while the wool uniform was the winter version. In reality, the Red Army Uniform Regulation has no rigid regulation on the use of the cotton and the wool uniform. Theoretically, the cotton M35 Uniform was used in summer while the wool version was supposed to be worn in spring and autumn. In reality, the majority of the officers used the cotton uniform as the battle uniform (for easy care and more sturdy) while the wool gimnasterka was used as the “Outdoor / Marching Uniform

M43 Gimnasterka is the typical uniform issued to members of the Soviet Red Army during the later period of the “Great Patriotic War”. In January 1943, Josef Stalin issued an order to revive the traditional “Russian Military Spirit” by re-adopting the Czarist Russian Style Insignia System and the Military Clothing Style.



M43 Gimnasterka was similar to the WWI Czarist Russia Gimnasterka in appearance. It has Standing Collar (closed by 2 buttons) and Shoulder Board pair, as a great deviation from the design of the M35 Gimnasterka.
