British WW2 Type Paratrooper Denison Smock
The British introduced the Denison Smock to provide not only proper camouflage to their Airborne soldiers but also a more utilitarian garment. These smocks have evolved throughout the years but their lineage can be directly traced to this design, even the most modern MTP variant.
This example is a very rare example of a Post WW2 production smock that has been made using WW2 era fabric and the Second World War pattern. This exact smock was produced in 1956, though it is WW2 patterned in its zipper, waist cinch, pockets and hood opposed to the newer 1950s design that it should have been. Why was it made technically incorrectly? We haven’t a clue, but here’s a chance at essentially getting a World War 2 Parasmock for the price of a post war smock.
Size 5’10”-6’2” and chest of 36 to 38 inches only (size 7).
