Show us your smocks

[MT606]

Having recently bought a few different 'vintage' smocks/parkas and having seen the threads on the swedish ones, I thought it
may be good to share pics of the different types people have or just pics of smocks people like/want?

now in the next decade when my pc uploads images to photo*ucket, I'll post mine up.

I like the one with 3 chest pockets, what sort of smock is that?

Here's a pic of my Snowsled classic smock.

I am patiently waiting for Endicott's to do another batch of dyed Swedish smocks in fat sizes. Until then I will be wearing my copy of a German sniper smock. These are quite expensive believe it or not but no wanted it when I found this one being sold on ebay so I got it for £22.00.

Snowsled ventile that i sold but managed to buy back, my favourite.

I have a Snowsled Classic, it is a fabulous bit of kit, my other day to day jacket is a Bison Ventile jacket...

...although it is never on the peg these days as the wife is always nicking it.

This is an SASS 'ventile' smock with L24 'earth' ventile trim. I modded it so can take the fur ruff off or on.

Where to get one of those fur ruffs for the hood?

looks like a german ww2 mountain smock

originals are expensive but you can get repros for about £60-80 depending on whether they are revesible

epicmiliteria and Sofmilitry sell versions of them

Keep your eye out for 'Vintage fur ruff' on ebay tom. sometimes they come up cheap.
That one of mine is coyote fur.
[Just dont buy them from China, as they have no laws against cruelty, and you could be funding stuff like the skinning of animals alive. no joke. truly horrendous to see.]

Also got an arktis smock, from endicotts, which is great, but cant find a photo of it online.

 

[MT606]

Copper head, it's as corso says, tis a reproduction of a Gebirgsjager smock, all of the smocks/parkas I've shown are reversible to white, the green ones are original, the grey one and the snowed in pic are repros... I've got a snugpack jacket on under the green coat (Looks a bit hunchback esq) it originally had a wolf fur trim around the hood but that's long gone.

[Dave]

Your gear really does look fantastic in those photos.

This one has been with me for years. I don't know what it is. It cost £25 from an army surplus store. Here it is serving me well whilst hiking the Haute Route in the Alps

And I love these British Army DPM smocks. They can take a massive battering. I like them for bushcraft too because they are breathable, fine near fires and they dry out really quickly.
I'm dying one of these black so I don't look out of place in the forest land near me. I know it's not right to have to blend in, but when you're normally on route to making a fire or practicing trap making, it's best to stay grey
When it's black this will be my favourite smock.

I am loving this thread ... it,s making me want to get making.I also like the british army smocks, it would be good if they made a white one, maybe i could bleach one white. I made this i dont no if you would class it as a smock but here it is any way. I like john fennas smocks they look awesome, as do the rest of the smocks in this thread, hope to see more.
