Scotch Harry Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 No idea where these came from but just unearthed a bag full of Unissued Heavy Duty Combat Smock Zips if anybody needs a replacement for a damaged zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Harry Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Theyre £8 each including postage. Only took a few out to take the pics so not sure without checking them all if different makers and possibly different lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm up for some Harry......they should vary in length up to 33"....... I have a similar stash of trouser zips !!! Would consider some sort of 68 pattern kit as a swap for some....anything you need...??:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Harry Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 :blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush: Sorry guys and feel a bit of a divvy. Only pulled a couple partly out of the bag so thought they were smock zips--------- On closer inspection they are short-17,18,19 inches long with the longest being only 20 inches. Any ideas what they are off-too long to be trs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airportable Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Sorry not zip, but I'm after seven 68ptn. buttons (smock) for a spare frag. vest I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have shed-loads of buttons.....all types !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 In light of finding out they are so short price reduced to £6.50 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not certain they are suitable for 60 pattern smocks.......all late issues, including the DPM version, as original fittings almost always used "NZ" (Newey) zips.....earlier production used "Swift", "DoT", "Lightning", "Aero", etc......but not "Clix"....although these DID feature on many 68 pattern garments....... Mind you, stores replacement zips may well have been of later, non-original spec pattern....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 So the mystery continues as to what these zips would have been used on? However regardless of make,still pretty sure they would be suitable as a damaged replacement zip for a 60 Patt smock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Not sure myself......I actually have some of these (somewhere) and have asked the same question many times...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Checked them all,majority are CLIX but a couple of NZ ones as well-which have HBT tape to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Just had a look at 1 of my 60 Patt OG smocks and that has an AZF zip on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just had a look at 1 of my 60 Patt OG smocks and that has an AZF zip on it. Another common zip, frequently found on 1960s production smocks of various types......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
