paul_bish Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think its for an officers trench coat, like the classic Burberry job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Most WW2 officer kit was also made by the WD factories/contractors to sealed patterns for sale to officers at a fixed price as an option to the more expensive private-purchase from tailors, etc............. One of the reasons was that during WW2 many officers were commissioned from the rank's and did not always have the means to obtain their kit via the usual channels, so it was, in part, a form of regulation by the WD.......... I suspect that this trench-coat lining was made to fit either a single or double-breasted raincoat of a specific pattern in accordance with the above........:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
