It's good stuff. Very cheap if you look in the right places, and it's built for a fuckin warzone so it lasts years. Just be careful not to wear fits that make you look like youre on a 'tactical grey man in the corner of Burger King' kinda vibe. Unless you are on that vibe. In which case, respect. Someone has to do it.
Not as bad as you'd think, I never got any comments really... I think it would be worse these days actually since fox news has gone full pants on fire hysterical about socialism and communism.
I've seen a few people wearing ushankas around with the hammer and sickle, I asked one guy about it and he was like "i just think its a cool hat". He didn't seem to have any concerns about it. I think you can just feign ignorance if you wanted to avoid a confrontation.
