The beautiful British Army Windproof Smock in the highly coveted brushstroke camouflage colourway. Introduced in the later part of the war, these smocks would see extensive use with infantry across Northern Europe, and again in Korea. Many would make their way to the French in Indochina, and they would become a mainstay of British special forces well into the 70s. This example, very unusually has been printed on the shoulders with the emblems of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, so may have served with them in Korea.
Condition
This one has had some wear and repair work done. The botton section of the jacket has been rebuilt, shortened slightly and had a new waist tie. There are multiple repairs, most of which have been done with original fabric. She's a good wearable example, but expect bags of character.
