Size 48” (2B)
This jacket is standard army jacket, just early model not a Jump Smock.
The difference Between this and the more common Jump Smock is the elastic band in the waist and also elastic cuffs inside arms. Both these features are NBC protection measures, designed to prevent radioactive fallout from entering inside of the jacket. Somebody quickly found out, that in event of nuclear holocaust this piece of cloth would be quite useless so all jacket produced after 1960s don´t have it. This jacket also features many more pockets, 2 outside and three inside pockets!
