I wore this for a walkabout this morning. Love the cooler weather.
If you are one of those buying and leaving an ELC or GW in the box as an investment, go with these Denisons instead. They’ve been there and done it

Respect and Honor to those!
Saw them in action... Denisons and their wearers in the Balkans in early 1990ies
Respect!

That's a lovely example of the Belgian "brushstroke" para smock mate

Handing off an old unfinished project G-1 to one of my grandkids. His looks come from my wife's side of the family.

Looks like you guys are trying to spot an aircraft. A Navy one.

Well it's not a actual British wartime one.....the dye intensity is waaaay too strong to be a legitimate piece (since it was meant to wash out and look like a French workman's smock)
You may have a post war one (which I doubt with that half zip) but I'm thinking it's a Belgian brushstroke smock due to the dyes and the edges on the pocket flaps

Unlike most people who are happy to waste lots of time explaining to idiots, i am not bothered. I have a lot of experience on WW2 & post airborne kit. I’ll leave this with you - idiot
I detest self appointed “experts” & why i don’t bother coming on here much any more. Johnny come lately’s who think they know everything

And that isn't a actual wartime issued smock
The snaps aren't Newey,the label isn't accurate.......the dye intensity is waaaay too strong......
I work for the Australian War Memorial mate so have actually handled these things for a living...... and have handled ones by a British company (Kay canvas from memory) which the labels look roughly like
You might have a fantastic reproduction of the original but it's NOT the original
I'm sick of people passing off modern made items as "vintage" and "retro"

Nope, you are still full of shit “mate”...... i don’t care who you’ve worked for or what you have read. You know not with whom you are talking to. I’ve owned over 30 Denisons from the earliest to the very last model made. Your employers need to sack you because you are full of shit. It is a 1946 Denison bought from a friend who’s dad was issued it. Try doing a google search and maybe read “Denison”.
Here’s a pic from it
You need to disappear before you make yourself look an even bigger bellend

ATF was selling fleece lined tankers at ridiculously low prices a while back . The fleece lining was pretty nice with no itchy and scratchy
. I don’t know if Bretta s jacket is the fleece lined one but I grabbed one during the sale . You’d really like it.

You nailed a perfect fit on that one.
Looks good on you.

Great fit on you . I think the trick on a tanker is to go down one size, because they were made oversized to wear additional clothing and bib overhalls under.
Is that one of the fleece lined ones that ATF offered a while back or the regular blanket lined type ?
