wdbikemad Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Found a "source" with a few green 1960s OG "SAS" windproof smocks that MAY be up for grabs...........they won't be cheap and no guarantee that I can get 'em......... Here's a taster tho.........late 1960's (up to 1970) green smock, beautiful grey-green gabardine fabric, huge Size 8 (largest made) and by "BMC"....note the NSN "error" on the label (corrected by some bod in the factory by biro !!!!!).....this one is almost mint........ My source has about 3 - 4 of these, very similar and all Size 8's...........one is already spoken for (Jason !!!) but I need to sort out a deal to try and acquire these.......they are serious "rocking horse" and far rarer than the DPM version......:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdbikemad Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hello. I have just joined. I am interested in one of the smocks. Thanks. Hi John, I managed to get a couple of these from a reclusive and hard-to-deal-with collector..........one I'm keeping, the other has gone to my mate Jason (a long-standing friend and first in-line for this)........ Not sure If I can get any more. I may be able to source another WW2 denim version, plus may have a white version (snow-smock) coming, but either way these things are like hens teeth today and extremely hard to source and never cheap.......!!!!

Colebrook Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hello. Mr. wdbikemad. The green Windproof is pretty much (to my knowledge) my missing link on the evolution of the smock. I am still on the lookout, if you ever come across any I would appreciate it if you let me know. I will try and get some bits posted at the weekend. Looking forward to the book. All the Best.
