wdbikemad Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The French received large quantities of wartime British cammo windproof smocks and trousers post-war, and they were used extensively.......many were commonly modified by re-tailoring such as altering the cut of the trousers and removing the hood from the smock and adding a full-zip front.......caps were also made from scrap fabric...... The full-zip in British cammo smocks was a local or unit modification until the early 1960s.....the pattern remained the same as the wartime style up to then.......during 1964-65 the official "1963 pattern" smock and trousers were introduced, identical to the wartime pattern but the smock now featuring a factory-fitted full-length front zip with a wind-baffle behind...........during 1965 a plain olive green version was introduced to replace the cammo version, and from 1971 the green version was replaced by one in the new DPM camouflage but now in a heavyweight satin-backed cotton-drill cloth as used for standard combat smock production......this lasted until 1975 when the classic modern "SAS" DPM windproof appeared, reverting though to lightweight cotton-gabardine fabric as previously used up to 1965........:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
