The 1969 number 5 uniform was commonly worn by sailors working in very cold climates.  It had been in existence since the Patriotic War though the belt buckle and ushanka cockade were different and the great coat had red stars on the sleeves. (1)  Over the years insignia changed but the components of the uniform remained essentially the same.

The 1969 version of the uniform features a black synthetic 'fur' ushanka with the 1969 enlisted cockade.  Its single breasted black great coat features a row of five non-functional gold colored buttons.  The coat is actually fastened by a series of hook-and-eye closures on the wearer's right side.

Rank insignia are in the form of the standard length shoulder boards in winter black are worn with this uniform (though for naval aviation they would be light blue).  Prior to 1980 these boards had stenciled letters indicating the fleet that the sailor served with.  In 1980 all shoulder boards were required to be marked with a Cyrillic ‘Ф’ in yellow thermoplastic.

A specialty patch in red (for conscripts) or yellow (for extended service men and michmen) is worn on the left sleeve.  These were often made of thermally molded plastic. Badges are also authorized to be worn with this uniform.

The black enlisted belt is made of a synthetic leather and has a brass naval enlisted rank buckle.  Black lace up deck shoes and black gloves (not shown) are also worn with this uniform.
