The denison smock's history lies in the early part of WW2. Having seen the success of the German's airborne forces in Norway, Churchill ordered Britain's parachute regiment to be formed and expanded quickly. Initially the British copied the German parachute oversmock, called a knockensack, but soon developed their own large overfitting garment known as a denison smock. The first iteration was introduced in 1942, and whilst there would be small changes, remained largely unchanged into the late 50s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis example is from the mid-1950s, very similar to the WW2 pattern but with a slightly different cut, knitted cuffs and chromed snaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis is example is largely great, the cuffs have been replaced with a modern set, but otherwise it's very nice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize tag is washed out but I suspect a 4 or 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFits from a modern large to X-large depending upon desired fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePit to pit 27\" (if you've never had a denison, these fit very broad across the chest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShoulder to shoulder 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShoulder to cuff 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCollar to hem 34\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Major's Tailor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47066806649004,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/4445\/5084\/files\/denison-smock-50s-1.jpg?v=1755116840","url":"https:\/\/themajorstailor.com\/products\/british-army-1950s-denison-smock-1","provider":"The Major's Tailor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
