jump smock

[kbec37]

Hi
Bandolier is when the buttons are in place below, they are too offset to the front to put the shoulder pads
I do not know what is the black buttons sewn above the pocket, and putting a Bandol I wonder if these buttons were not intended to maintain a Bandol?

What do you think ?, have you seen a change like that ?
thanks in advance

I believe its wartime done, and your theory does make scense
Nice smock btw.

Could be for a hood too.

Extremely fine jumpsmock!

Were there loops on the shoulders would have considered the buttons were for shoulder straps. Since there are no loops, your theory makes sense, but there are other possibilities as well.

thank you, Yes Boyou Why not for a hood and yes John, I think that apart from seeing it in photos, we'll never know the exact use of these buttons you it ...... even though date of the war or after?
So if anyone has already seen this on a picture, it would be great !!
thanks

No idea what the buttons are for, but it's a wonderful smock !

Is it still a full step-in ?

Nice smock! Love the buttons added. Can you post a photo of the breast eagle when you get a chance?

Thanks,
MGN

no, sorry not untouched, the shorts had been ripped . the eagle is not the jumpsmock that he would like the gown with just 2 points over
