About this item
Whilst not perhaps having the wider appeal of a wartime RAF Officer’s Service Dress Tunic, this a rather rare example of the ill-fated and short lived, 1947 pattern Tunic.
In1947, the temperate officers' services dress jacket was altered. The lower side pockets were removed, and the single vent at the back was replaced by two hacking jacket style slits. The lower button was moved up to a position behind the belt and silk embroidery flying badges were replaced with ones in bullion embroidery. These changes were unpopular and in 1951, with the exception of the lower button move, the former uniform style was re-adopted.
Crudely later dressed for display with a pair of wings and a DFC ribbon, the Tunic is in very good condition with no signs of moth or other damage. The Moss Bros label is in place but not discernible and all buttons are Kings Crown.
