Same maker on a FJ drag suit:

Thanks Steve!

Incredible condition as well! An amazing piece in every way.

Thanks for the comments, and for identifying the maker, much appreciated! And yes, I did buy it

Well done, it's in great condition too. Any history / provenance with it ?

[Gran Sasso]

Holy cow indeed! That is only the second smock made in this summer flightsuit fabric I have seen; and the other one was also a converted splinter step-in.

There is a unconverted splinter stepin in our book, and its now owned by a forum member

One of the best I have ever seen. Not bad for a 1st jumpsmock! Lol

[Sergey K.]

Great and rare find, congrats !
Is any production date visible ?
Also interesting what backing zippers have ? Definitely Rapid maker.

[Sergey K.]

And Patrick is right, mine is unconverted. And different maker .

[Michael N]

Both very nice smocks!

Sergey, your smock is made in a different fabric. If I recall correctly. Yours is made in a green 2-color Grünmeliert, not the summer tan flight suit fabric of 2 colors of tan, as this one is. Will have to check the photos you sent me in the past.

No, Willi, seems you missed something. It's exactly the same fabric .

Perhaps you recall another smock which I showed to you.

Sensational smock, Sergey !
