Grades -

• Grade 2 / Original Condition - An interesting piece as it looks to be an older wool, likely early post war, especially given the medals, however the staybrite buttons, collar badges etc. place it more modern, so likely a reworked piece. Has moth holes across the piece, so more for costume or prop use, unless given some TLC to restore. Price reduced

A classic piece of vintage British surplus. This jacket is the predecessor to the current issued No. 2 uniform, which takes much of its inspiration from this beautiful jacket which in turn has been formed from hundreds of years of military history. Jackets like this one were used for ceremonial and general duties around barracks and the likes. It is slightly more boxy than the newer issued jackets, but is of fantastic quality.

The jacket has a sophisticated yet utilitarian look, made with purpose. It has 2 chest pockets along with 2 much larger flap hip pockets, as well as internal slit pockets for storing important or smaller items, everything from IDs and wallets to packets of gum and cigarettes.

We often have a few old pattern No. 2 dress trousers on hand if you're after a complete uniform!
