i brought a replica for my husband for his birthday and he loves it!
i enjoy seeing my husband collect his hobby and ww2 kits is his passion
Tell my wife the same thing 😢😢😢 she doesn't understand this... 😅😅😅 I love her so much though ❤❤❤
That's nice to hear
@@starscreamsdkfz475 include her! My husband included me in WW2 and conflict celebrations.
I dressed as a military messenger motorcycle rider WW2 and MASH nurse (i’m actually a pediatrician)
The denisons are a trap, if you start collecting them you cant stop🤣
Great video! That is a very nice smock! These have always been way more than I can afford!
February 10th marks the anniversary of No2 Commando/II SAS X-Troop 1st Combat jump in 1941 , they wore the first smock with step in legs , Granddad wore it that day
You can see the influence this pattern had on DPM, French lizard pattern and Zimbabwean brush stroke.
I enjoyed so much the repro of my Denison Smock when I reenact. I Also made an hand made reproduction of the paratrooper brevet
Why half zip hard to remove smock and if wounded to dress wound
Looks like it influenced Belgian '60's camo design
That smock has a beautiful colour to it, very nice.
Great vid as usual, one small point the crotch strap when secured is (like the side tightener tabs) mean't to secure the smock as close as possible to the body & stop it riding up when humping & bumping the parachute harness into position when donning it, not to stop it riding up during a descent as the harness etc will do that anyway. Cheers Simon.
Nice one, you made me pull out my one made by George Davis of Manchester but I can't make out the date on mine and I think mine's one size larger as I can make out the 6ft. Also mine has Newey nickle press buttons and the tag is on the viewers left lower pocket.
I've got photographs of my dad wearing a 3 Para one in the mid 70's.
A question prompted by this and other videos re the Denison smock and the “tail”, from memory in the 60s 70s and perhaps 80s, British Army combat jackets all (?) had tails but perhaps don’t anymore?
Hi Simon I can't see why you believe the number indicates RM and not army. RM numbers would typically start with P.
Agreed - I'm no expert but that looks like an army number to me. Having said that, my number started 2474... from joining in 1985, so the 23... numbers (like on this smock) would not have around until long after when this smock was issued. Maybe the RMs changed their numbering system and Simon is right after all? Having said that, maybe it's not a personal number but something else? It looks too neat for a personal number and you'd expect a name alongside it...
@@seanr2968 and mine started 2432....in 1974 😁
Mine started 2507.... back in 97 but got a new one a few later starting with a 5. When I left everyone had a 300 number, baby number we called them they prefered "Spartan" !!
Nice Smock Simon, I also had a John Gordon smock 1945 dated some years ago. Thanks for sharing 👍
Got a wartime dated one of these for £4 from a car boot sale
Some people are just lucky.
Good kill
Great video! Thanks a lot
Ace. Just bought a Kay Kanvas SOF version and it matches this description. The print colours are much more khaki than this and because it's brand new - I suppose - they're far too vivid. I'm hoping they're going to fade with twenty runs through the wash. Does anyone have experience of how best to age this product?
Wear it a lot and keep washing it. That's about all you can do. I think they're quite nice for £90
@@vonsprague7913 My fondness for this smock knows no limits. It's my signature cloak of invincibility now.
I scooped some sand off the beach, dumped it into a plastic dustbin, added water and agitated the smock for days.
After rinsing and washing it in the machine, I treated it with canvas waterproofing.
Pukka.
Weight?
Expensive hobby....
It is a sickness, but a very Sweet Sickness.... oh, so sweet.
Saw the then, Prince Charles wearing one of these years ago he was the Colonel in Chief of The Parachute Regiment ,is he still?.
