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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular jacket belonged to an individual who had a lengthy career in the army, seeing conflict in Yugoslavia and her remnants. At one point there were rank patches that appear to have fitted the rank of Sergeant but these have been removed. Given the Royal Signal Corps buttons it can be expected they would've been one of the first in action at the dissolution of Yugoslavia and would've been crucial to providing information to all other branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe often have a few old pattern No. 2 dress trousers on hand if you're after a complete uniform!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- - - - - - -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLooking for more British Items?
