Original WW2 Women's Land Army 'Overalls Coat, Drill'

An original Women's Land Army 'Overalls, Coats, Drill' in good condition which dates from the Second World War. 

This pattern of overall coat was used throughout the Second World War by the WLA and is often referred to as the 'Milking coat'. Like a lot of workwear produced during this period, this coat is made from a tan coloured cotton drill and features removable revolving shank buttons. It is cut as a jacket which is intended to sit above the knee and features two front pockets and a waist belt which fastens with two butterscotch coloured plastic buttons. The notched collar can be fastened across the wearer's neck with another similar plastic button. 

Inside the coat the original label is still present with some details still being partly legible including the War Department broad arrow.

When laid flat the coat measures - 

Chest - 21"
Waist - 16 1/2"
Inside arm - 17 1/4"
Outside arm - 21 1/2"
Shoulders - 16 1/2"
Length - 34"

The coat is in good condition as can be seen in the pictures. It has clearly only seen some wear and use and has some staining etc. There are no serious flaws or damage. Please take time to study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that it is a pre-worn vintage jacket which may have small flaws commensurate with age. 

A nice original WW2 example.  

This is a vintage item which is 'sold as seen'
