    About this item

    An original 'Jackets Bush Khaki, 1950 Pattern' dated 1953 and in stunning, new old stock unworn condition.

    Often referred to as the 'Khaki Drill Bush Jacket' this pattern of jacket has to be one of the most classic military jackets of the 20th Century. Cut in a typical 'Safari' style, the jacket features two buttoning chest pockets with scalloped flaps, two lower flapped pockets, long sleeves and an integral waist belt with brass buckle which is removable. The jacket is made from cellular cotton which is often referred to as 'Aertex' which was a popular choice during this period due to its lightweight, breathable nature. 

    Inside the tunic the original label is still present and is as bright as the day the tunic was made. It states the size as No. 10 which fits up to 6' tall, a 41-43" chest and a 34-36" waist. It also bears the manufacturer's name, 'World's Wear Ltd', the 1953 date and the War Department broad arrow marking.

    When laid flat the jacket measures -

    Chest - 23"
    Waist - 19 1/2"
    Inside arm - 18"
    Outside arm - 24 1/2"
    Shoulders - 20"
    Length - 30 1/2"

    The condition of the jacket is superb. It is clearly a deadstock, unissued example and still has a sheen to it! This is truly a time-warp example although it does have one extremely small mark as shown in picture 5 and there are some marks to the rear of the sleeve although neither of these flaws are particularly noticeable. Please take time to study the pictures before purchasing. 

    Overall this is a stunning example which would be hard to better. A must have for the serious collector!
