Hi Bill
Thanks very much for the photos. Very nice jump smock. I have seen one recently, although the inside of the camouflage material was lighter ( different cloth batch). Are the pop studs PRYM 6? Also, the inside strengthening for the flare pistol holster is made of camouflage material. Is that Herringbone Twill? It looks like it, but the photo isn't clear enough to be sure. The one I looked at also had the arms and collar in HBT. There seems to be a variation in the construction of the different examples shown, which suggest that the tailors were really making do with what components they had left, at the end of the War.
Thanks again
Regards
John
