I guess nobody endured 1950s dated Battledress in the military service. It was desgined to identify the 'sensitive types'.

Are you aware of any places outside of Bill Kelso where that jacket can be purchased? Because it is out of stock there.

Not exactly practical, but I guess that counts.

Late to the party as usual Couchy but I know of this beastly uniform you speak of...the "hairy scary Mary" as my father called it,had it his old Nasho kit......I actually don't mind the trousers as winter hiking pants since they keep you warm no matter how wet it gets and the wide belt loops/button suspender points makes them quite useful and I've never found the Australian made trousers overly itchy but I grew up in Scouts with the old style socks..... nothing could ever be as bad as they were

My blue Bronson N-1 arrived yesterday. I am totally sold on these. I have a Khaki version as well. My Khaki was my go to this past Winter. Like it more than my previous BR's even though I know BR is more accurate. Don't care really. Bronson a tad lighter weight, a tad less goofy/stiff and .......... I don't really like all wool lining. A wool mix or synthetic is my choice as a wearer. If I want authentic, I wear my original which is rarely.

Did you grab an ATF N-1? Have one out in the shed somewhere. Had to grab one...Bronson look to be a better offering though.

 

[CBI]

Yes, Bronson MUCH better than ATF in every category. I did have the ATF but let it go.

But you still love ATF though?

Yes, love their kanal jacket and of course other things. Their fleece lined Tanker is still my fave Tanker!!!!!!!
