No. This smock is of poor quality (made in china), sorry.

I search for Ventile (or similar tightly woven cotton) only. I want the best.

The SAS windproof in ventile is like rocking house a company called Survival Aids used to sell them than thay sold there stock to Silvermans in London the problem was the ventile didn't hold the DPM patten well and looked very red,

SASS used to make them in there clone ventile .

But the early cotton gabardine SAS windproof smock in cotton gabadine takes some beating dries fast and very comfy .

Lots of copy out there though as you may know

I already know it. I remember that 'Bison Bushcraft' company make their authentic Ventile smock too in the past... but impossible to find now on the market. It's a pity...

Minor correction SASS made three in real branded Ventile

Spacemonkey had the first (and matching trousers) and I had the second. Can't remember who got the third. They only made them because they got half a roll of Ventile in a deal.

...and no, its not for sale - my favourite jacket!

Need to dig my SAS smock out now and have a look at it. I bought it from Survival Aids in 1991.

Checked and it has no label in it, must've taken it out at some point, as the rectangle stitching is still there. I have taken the wire out of the hood as it used to annoy me.

Thanks, that rings a bell, though I'm sure it was sold as SAS Arctic Smock.

It owes me nothing as I used it in the jungle, Croatia and everywhere else in between.
