Original Item. Only One Available. This is one of the original two-piece camouflage uniform sets used during the filming of John Milius’ 1984 film “Red Dawn”, which was worn by Soviet Russian forces in the film. The top piece retains the YKK zipper that only goes halfway down, as it is a pullover shirt. The jacket has a tag denoting it as XL for Extra Large along with RUSSIA denoting who it was worn by. The interior right armpit is inscribed CRC XL RUSSIA. The trousers have a tag denoting them as M BOTTOM for Medium. They are inscribed CRC M on the interior.
The KLMK pattern printed on the uniform is not an exact match to the Soviet produced ones, but it worked very well for the movie. This set is similar to the one seen being worn by Charlie Sheen in the famous photo of the Wolverines holding out in the mountains waiting to ambush a Soviet convoy.
The set is inscribed CRC. This denotes that the sets came from the Costume Rentals Corporation, who supplied a substantial amount of wardrobe used in the film.
The uniform comes with a copy of a letter of provenance from Bob Chatt, denoting where the uniforms came from and that these “Russian uniforms” were used in the film by background actors.
This is a wonderful uniform set from one of the most well-known war films of all time. Ready for further research and display!

Red Dawn is a 1984 American action drama film directed by John Milius, from a screenplay co-written with Kevin Reynolds, and starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson and Jennifer Grey, with supporting roles played by Ben Johnson, Darren Dalton, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O'Neal, William Smith and Powers Boothe. Set during a fictional World War III between an increasingly isolated United States and the Soviet Union, the film follows a group of teenage guerrillas, known as the Wolverines, fighting against a joint Soviet-Latin American invasion force in Colorado.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film became a commercial success, grossing $38 million against a budget of $17 million. It was the first film to be released in the United States with a PG-13 rating under the modified rating system introduced on July 1, 1984. A remake was released in 2012.
