Vintage militaria from the early 90's. This British combat smock would've seen use during various UN peacekeeping missions as it was standard issue. This jacket comes in the last pattern before the modern made Soldier 95 series, which revolutionised the British army's uniform system with one standardised, effect garment. Still, this coat served many soldiers well and is made from a durable all cotton material.
It appears the previous owner added a keen hand at sewing and added an extra internal pouch. By default you'll find 4 spacious button pockets, 2 chest and 2 hip, as well as a handy little pocket on each sleeve. Internally there's a large "fishtail" pocket for storing soft goods like sleeping mats, clothing etc.
For utility you'll find the collar can be overturned and fastened shut in harsh conditions and each sleeve cuff is able to be velcro'd tight. There's a hem and waist drawstring so you can really help insulate yourself in cold windy weather.
The camouflage is of course the iconic woodland DPM pattern, a world renowned camo which still sees active use in 40+ countries.
