chevpol Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Evening folks, got myfirst sealed pattern item today....... am pleased!!!!! Mark PS. sorry for the large amount of piccys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Incredibly, I have an identical pair of these, sealed pattern et-all..... Interesting to see the small "swatch" of blue-grey drill attached to the label which my pair also have, suggesting that these were made in RAF colours too..... "GDS" on the label is "Garment Development Section" that were at Woolwich, with other sites at Branston, etc, that evolved into the "Stores Clothing Research and Development Establishment" (SCRDE, latterly at Colchester) and then in April 1994 this in turn became "Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency" (DCTA)............

ted angus Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Have these got rubber buttons on the cuff ankles and down the front, i joined 64 we had blue / grey and green, some had rubber buttons some had big brass press studs- fantastic overalls, proper overalls which gave protection to oil spillage and had some warmth to them; and could be worn in the welding/ blacksmith shop without fear of melting !!

chevpol Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yes they do have rubber buttons Ted, also interesting to see on one of the labels that it says Mans and Boys wdbikemad, should have guessed you have a pair too!! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I guess the Mens & Boys would be to do with the size range- I was 15 when I joined a little skinny dwarf !! TED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
