Swedish Snow Smock heads up

[Mesquite]

I just bought one of these smocks off of ebay thanks to a heads up from Spamel.

Excellent bit of kit and for us larger proportioned gentlemen it's ideal. It goes over my 50" chest and even accomadates my XXXL belly with no trouble at all. I'll probably dye it and use the trousers to pimp it some by putting an extra pouch on the chest. Only thing I've done is bung it straight in the wash as it was a bit musty smelling.

Grab a set while they have some.

Burdocks! I've just ordered a smock only for more than that. That's a bargain

Cheers for that, I've been looking for one of these, just ordered it.

Arrived today.
Not sure I like it at the moment. I'll change the buttons for slotted ones on tape perhaps.
Maybe dye it.

I considered adding a zip down the front and making a storm flap out of the trousers.
I could make a button in liner for it out of a blanket...
choices, choices.

I bought two from genuine army surplus about 13 quid each unissued condition dyed one a tan colour and one a woodland brown, heres the tan one

just need to replace the buttons (got some desert bdu ones for it)
graham s you can buy the button up front ones, would have saved you cutting etc a head over version.

Just finished dying mine.... Still got the buttons to replace. Good idea about the storm flap Graham, I may well do that was well.

Just wondering whether or not to get some tech wash followed by cotton proof so it's a bit more shower proof

I got a good deal on the smock. this way I can convert it to the way I want it.
