wdbikemad Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Designed and issued to WRAC for NI duties.....early 70s.........primarily for those accompanying troops on street patrols for searches, etc, and to provide some comfort and weather protection.......... At the time, it was considered inappropriate to clad WRAC in DPM cammo and (probably) if so, more risky...................in time, WRAC were issued DPM although these garments, issued with matching slacks, soldiered on as a general purpose out-door/workwear dress........probably until the early 80s........... Parka shown is probably a rather late issue with metric sizing......I would say around very late 70s/early 80s.........although the liner (issued separately) is in the older and far more common sizing encountered for these garments............ If found today, the majority appear to be new old stock............they were never too popular, and replaced by DPM for operational purposes during the late-1970s..............
