wdbikemad Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 It's a strange thing, but up until a few years ago now many hire shops and theatrical outfitters had some real gems in stock, including wartime BD blouses and trousers, RAF 19 pattern high collar jackets, etc........I bought a fair few items, the companies being only too glad to get shot of small size items that were taking up space and never hired.......my best was around 50 such garments at £5 each.....this included 7 BD blouses, 5 pairs of trousers and a dozen 22 pattern jackets..... Many schools and OTC's held stocks of the old high-collar SD jackets right up into the 1980s.......several were doubtless of WW1 origin......
