The main body of hte jacket is type 7 camouflage from 1954 whilst the sleeves are a contrasting type 8 camouflage of more muted tones which dates from around the same time period. It has been made in a conventional bush jacket style with patch pockets to the chest and lower bellows pockets. The front and the pockets fasten with buttons whilst inside there is a drawstring at the waist which may suggest this started life as a standard M47 jacket.
The jacket will suit around a 38" - 40" chest depending on desired fit and when laid flat it measures -
Chest - 22 14"
Inside arm - 19 1/2"
Outside arm - 22 1/4"
