wdbikemad Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I recently managed to find a well-used issue pair of CS95 trousers in rip-stop fabric.....proving their existence.....I think these date from the late-90s when issued on a limited scale to see if suitable for service....... I have also noted a lightweight CS95 shirt/jacket for sale in rip-stop DPM fabric.........anyone know anything more about these...? The only rip-stop CS95 pattern shirt I've previously seen being the "Beaufort" aircrew issue....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Please excuse my ignorance as im not really into 90s gear as such but i thought that all CS95 gear was Rip-Stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdbikemad Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Please excuse my ignorance as im not really into 90s gear as such but i thought that all CS95 gear was Rip-Stop? The field jacket (smock) and detachable hood was rip-stop from trial and on into production......everything else was poly-cotton or Goretex.....but it seems that both trousers and the lightweight shirt/jacket were, for a limited time, also made in a ripstop fabric.......genuine issue items are damn hard to find, but a have recently found a well-used pair of trousers and saw (but missed out) on the matching lightweight shirt/jacket in Ebay..... My forthcoming book will stop at CS95....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Harry Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Every day is a school day:D:D:D:D Was always under the impression that CS95 was all ripstop,remember years ago i had a combat jacket and while liked the features etc hated the material. Hmmmm,would never have dreamed either that any of the items were rare and pretty sure somewhere i have a pair of unissued trs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCA75 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think i have a pair of the ripstop trousers...What are the distinguishing features so i can be sure.Taped buttons?What else? I got a pair NOS from my local flea market surplus man:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
