Red Army Reproductions started life as OTK 87 in 1987 making necessary items for our Eastern front re-enactments. What I am doing now after years of inactivity is just a continuation of that. Where possible I copy genuine items in my own collection, or collections of friends and colleagues. My main fabric is canvas cotton duck from the Soviet plash palatka rain cape along with military grade cotton twill fabrics imported direct from Russia, therefore using genuine fabrics from the country of origin. I also work in natural linen for some items. Smaller items such as buttons, buckles, cotton tape, hemp cord are imported from Russia.
