    The labels look legit? Not into the modern stuff so not 100% sure but know when MTP was introduced that there wasnt an issue Smock,maybe the MOD have caved into pressure,requests for a Smock now and issued one?
  2. Scotch Harry
    Para smocks were on issue right until DPM was phased out and are still a sought after item and now made in MTP by a few contractors but to my limited knowledge no longer an issue item but private purchase unofficial items. As for the plastic zip on the one pictured,if it was an old smock,yes it could be a replacement but seeing as the smock is in such good condition,would bet that its the original zip.

    No such thing as a 68 Patt Para Smock Im afraid and with that plastic zip would say very very late date wise.

    Dont know if they were issue of acquired but have period pics of some Paras during the Suez conflict and later 60s and they are wearing the SV boots and not Ammo boots.
  14. Scotch Harry
    Always led to believe that they were 2 different boots-the Commando SV and the Cold Weather?
  15. Scotch Harry
    Developed sometime during WW2 for Commands so Ive been led to believe and also used by Paras during the Suez Conflict.

    ssues of this type between 61 - 63 had the lining in windproof gabardine, later issues 63-64 (and thereafter with the revised model) in cotton poplin.. Sorry if a rookie question but how would I tell the difference between gabardine and poplin? Thanks

    Got amongst some other bits today a WRAF Jacket and skirt and as unfortunately I dont have a wife and am not the other way inclined is surplus to my needs if of any interest to anybody.

    Took a gamble on this and was chuffed that A. it was a WW2 tunic and B. what was in one of the pockets.

    The waterproofs arent despite the description.
  24. Scotch Harry
    Not so sure about their Falklands Period Waterproofs.

    A correctly shaped beret looks fantastic,very smart but the state of some of the berets I see and where the cap badges are is disgusting and like most "fashion" looks( I know civvy) like trs hanging around blokes ankles I personally think(apart from on the Paras) these stupidly shaped and stupidly worn berets look ridiculous and it should be stamped out.
