MHillyard Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Picked up a nice set of 1960 pattern clothing. Jacket has been used a bit, the zip has come away unfortunately. Trousers are great condition both still have a new sheen to them. The man told me he bought them from movie stores or film set which would explain the minimal use. Just a question, what would have been worn under the jackets? would it be a green shirt, wool shirt or battledress? not really sure ( you cant tell from photos!!) Thanks:thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHillyard Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Super pictures Martyn! By the way if you want to swap out the trousers for a pair that might fit drop me a PM! Well the trousers are big if anything, the leg width is a bit large really but the waist is ok. tempted to hold onto these for now but might hit you a PM after the weekend to see what you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglehurst Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 No problem - size 7 is a bit of a strange fit hence my offer. As you say drop me a PM if you are interested.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 By the time most of the 60 pattern kit came into use (from 61 onwards on a maintenance basis) the usual dress beneath was KF shirt and pully (the older type with draw-cord neck)...........battledress was phased out from around 1962 onwards for most, although TA and some other units retained a set for a fair few years after........ Note the maker "Manclark" on the trousers......another new one on me ! Dated 61, these are likely to be some of the first 60 pattern production.......
