Introducing the WINDPROOF camouflage smock worn by the British Army SAS (Special Air Service) during World War II. It is a pullover type jacket. It is also called "brushstroke camouflage" by collectors, but it is the same smock. The SAS is a historical unit that is still active as a Special Forces unit in the British Army, and at the time of WWII was active in sabotage, airborne operations, and assault operations using vehicles. After WWII, these pants were used by French paratroopers in the Indochina War, and are also famous for their camouflage. In the Indochina War, they were modified into paratrooper pants with the same fabric, and also modified smocks with custom zippers to make them easier to put on and take off, etc. They were active until the 1950s.
The smock introduced here is a smock with ribbed wrists, and was probably designed for airborne use. The ribbing is in relatively good condition, but there are many tears and repairs on both the front and back. There are also repairs on the sleeves, and the neck has a strong sense of use, such as fraying. The hem is also worn and has tears, etc., because the fabric is originally thin and is easy to tear. The size tag has faded and disappeared and is unreadable. The overall size indicates that it is a small size, but the exact regulation size is unknown. There are also some red stains. There is also a strap at the hem, but there is damage to some extent in the middle where the strap is exposed. Repairs are assumed. Please purchase with the understanding that it is a smock with countless scratches, holes, and repairs. Overall condition is not good, but please do not miss it if you are looking for because it is a very rare item. Because it is a used item, returns are not possible. Please understand.
