Vintage surplus from 1960's Britain. This particular piece would've been worn by a gentleman who was fairly early into his career. The jacket is for ceremonial occasions, parades and the like. It is made from an air force blue wool with a full lining. Great for temperate climates. 

The jacket comes with 2 button closure pockets as well as 2 slightly larger flap hip pockets, as well as 2 internal pockets for documents, IDs, cigarettes and the like. You'll find it adorned with beautiful golden buttons engraved with the unique Royal Observer Corp's emblem. The jacket belonged to a gentleman from West Wales who served in France and Germany during WW2 and later went on to be a prominent member of the local Air Cadets and Boy Scout branches.
