So I'm going to put together a Big Bear costume. Not being to familiar with Russian uniform markings/patches, what suggestions/recommendations does everyone have to make it look fairly realistic? I have the hat and belt, know where to get a wig & beard (can't grow my own due to regs & want it different than my Outback) and name tapes. I'll be rocking an airsoft AK 47 as the primary weapon.

You can find Russian military surplus uniforms with little effort online.

Not so much concerned with uniforms Everett, as I'll probably just use either 511 or Dickies pants and shirts, but the little touches like rank, unit patches and skill badges etc. that type of thing that I'm unfamiliar with.

If I've learned anything from watching the Russian victory day parade every year on youtube, it's that Russian military puts every and any possible award on their uniform. from the top down to the bottom, covered in them. It reminds me of that one scene in office space.
But to be a little more serious. You might want to get a blue beret, since Big Bear is a paratrooper. After all wearing that ushanka, aka "comrade hat", will get pretty hot after a while. He is a Sergeant so you'll want to get a patch with three yellow stripes on it, kind of like the one in the top right corner or bottem left: http://thumbs2.picclick.com/d/l400/p...mo-digital.jpg If you want to go way over the top, pick up one of those blue and white striped Russian shirts as well. If you happen to have your jacket open, it'll show you went the extra mile. Look up Russian VDV (para troopers) to learn a little more about what Big Bear is suppose to be. The VDV even has a music video! A friend of mine is obsessed with the Russian military, I'll ask him and see if he can help. |

Hey thanks ALOT!! That's a big help!!. I'll look into the striped shirt but I'll keep the ushanka simply because I don't want to be confused with other Oktober Guard members.

I believe these are some good references for you. I collected military uniforms and re enacted different eras of military for about 15 years. This uniform with a ushanka should be great. USSR Army Soldier WW2 uniform M69 for sale - buy online See the rest of the site for insignia.
