Thanks, Burt. This old lady belonged to a good pilot from States (unfortunately he had already died), now she with me for 2 years. I love her very much, several times she flew with me on a technical flight on 204 last year (In memory of Jerry, her former owner).

Dibley, The 1968 pattern smocks are dope. I bought a few this summer. If you find any others in that kind of shape in size 2 let me know.

I have quite a few mint or vgc but all 6's & 9's. There may be mint size 2's about but as they are of no interest to me, i don't keep a lookout for them.
Sadly i don't have the time to look out for somethingbi don't want & I wouldn't want the risk and hassle of buying for someone else TBH but will try to remember so i can let you know.
They are HEAVY so brace for expensive shipping costs. Possubly twice the cost of the jacket !

The smock in my photos has a tail too but with buttons on the inside of the jacket. Not intended for paratroopers though.
The Denison smock is what you are referring to. Had dozens of them over the years. Nice kit
