Old school windproof smock remade in wool

[Twodogs]

My Old school cotton gabadine DPM windproof smock has died , So like triggers broom I have remade it in wool ,

I used two US Army blankets same as used by "Empire canvas works" in the US also para smock cuffs .

But i have used the Zip of the old smock so it lives again ...





















Got to be said I am very happy how it turned out

Thanks for looking
