Product description

One of the best field jackets ever made, the British Windproof Smock is famous for its versatility and thoroughly great design. A perfect jacket for round-the-year use. These are "old" Combat Soldier 95 DPM smocks from the times' British army kit was actually made in the UK.

Originally designed in the '70s, this jacket was used in windy and cold conditions as the top layer. This is an unlined, practical field jacket with a spacious cut. Zipper closure, and six pockets: two large pockets in the hem, two on the chest, and two with zipper closure. Some jackets have a small pocket on the sleeve, some have velcro slabs. Drawcords on the hem and waist.


Condition

In used but serviceable condition, with the usual signs of wear like faded fabric, maybe a stain somewhere, a missing cord here or there, removed hood wire etc. In other words do not expect a pristine smock, because you'll likely get a properly worn one.

Note: The smock in the photos is an unissued one. Please note these are used. Some might have the sleeve velcro patches, some not. We won't pick.

Great smock at a fair price. Nice slightly faded fabric and in good overall condition. I am 180 cm, about 85 kg. I ordered size 180/96. Perfect fit with some extra room for layering. <br /> Fast shipping!

I always wanted to have a Smock, I think it is the best of its kind, so much so that despite not having my size I have bought the only small one available. In Excellent condition, with all its buttons and spare parts, metal cable in the hood and water repellent that I tested in cold rain. The size is generous but for a 96 chest and 1.72 it is short in sleeves. If anyone has one to change in Spain we will do it! That jacket was worn by Major Jeremy Moore, a little dirtier, but not like the one Menéndez wore at the surrender, which looked like a freshly ironed Combat Barbie. As an Argentine and knowing Moore's chivalry and subsequent encounters with former combatants, something that the current war does not know and will not know, that camaraderie of enemies of warrior gentlemen could not be missing from my supply. Thank you Varusteleka

I always miss out on the British DPM in my size, so I was quite pleased to find a number of these smocks in my size. Having bought a number of military surplus coats and parkas over the years I know that they tend to run larger that stated size as they are meant to be worn over a uniform. Nevertheless, I used the size helper here which recommended the size 180/104 which is what I had already chosen and lo, it fits perfectly. (Hint, hint, use the size helper) The smock is issued with a Union Jack on the sleeve and a name tape over the pocket. Broken in nicely and very comfortable. And it smells wonderful (like victory). The only real negative to this smock is the very strange use of copper wire around the edge of the hood. I assume it was put there to give shape to the hood and keep it out of your face, but on this used one, the wire was twisted like a proverbial corkscrew and had actually begun to poke through the fabric. I removed it immediately to prevent further damage to the smock and further annoyance to myself. All in all, a great addition to my military surplus uniforms which my wife says I have too many of anyway.
