Curious About Sizing?
Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.

Customer Reviews
The auto wind up is pretty cool
Good quality and it came in amazing condition. Clearly well taken care of
Beautiful watch, fits great, only works for 30 sec at q time tho.
Got a used one that was still in good quality. Slight imperfections in the metal body but the strap and face were like new. Might try to get a new one if they come back
I got a 1970s ZIM. Good used watch, runs like advertised and has a nice patina. It’s an interesting piece to my watch collection and I was thrilled to find a Soviet, 1976 GAZ Volga recently to get it’s picture with.
Style is random, you may not receive any of the watches pictured. One watch included in each grab bag purchase. Most watches were made in the Soviet Union, but some were made in Russia in the early 1990s.
If you're looking for a neat mechanical watch with some interesting history, check out AP's Soviet Watch Grab Bag. This listing contains any and all Soviet or Russian watch brands from Raketa and Slava to Pobeda and Poljot.
Most watches in this listing are mechanical, meaning it must be wound up every so often to keep the time.
You're able to choose from watches with traditional leather bands or metal link bands.
Since these watches are old Soviet or Russian manufacture we had them refurbished to make sure they'll function and keep accurate time. We've also had any rotten or poor condition bands replaced as needed. While they have been refurbished and checked for function, some will have minor scuffs, scratches and small imperfections.
Watch Function Test:
To test the function of your watch, please wind the watch all the way. If the hand still does not move, give it a gentle shake. Some of these watches may be automatic and require some movement to begin working.
If your watch does not work, please email us at help@americanapipedream.com to initiate a free return or exchange.
The Short & Sweet:
- Vintage Soviet/Russian manufactured watches
- Choice between leather and metal band
- Refurbished for function, all watches will work
- Mix of mechanical and automatic movement
- May be minor scuffs, scratches and small cosmetic imperfections
Condition Info:
We currently offer two conditions for these watches: Used; Like New and Used; Good.
Used; Like New watches will be 90% deadstock, with minimal signs of wear. There will not be any corrosion or blemishes on the watch face, but they may have some small scratches on the case.
