    Default Vintage wool reefer... Mint

    As title, mint condition reefer/pea coat
    I'm 45" chest with shoulders that comfortably carry plenty of chips so I would size this as not for me, more a medium/large to allow a decent base/midlayer
    I'll measure it up in a bit.

    Mint condition, Imo vintage due to construction, materials.
    No makers or care label


    Pocketed liner is like a nylon I've seen vintage military shirts made from. Colour of liner is like a grey/green? Not blue looking as photo came aht.


    Outer pockets lined in a heavy cotton / linen

    Interesting buttons, have Halesowen groove on the back. They are English and have a history of supplying buttons for clothing going back to 1800s American civil war military and through both world wars. Still trading today!


    Solid construction

    Interesting sewn small holes on left breast, for a rank or insignia badge?


    This is mint condition for its age, very clean, so trade value wise I reckon owt near £70 is fair. Reckon it will outdo an out live a swanni?

    Seeking bushy stuff along the lines of a gb wildlife, a hill bill knife different from my own, quality tarp, Bivvi bag, Crusader cook set, etc
    Px welcome
    Will be advertised in for sale and elsewhere

    Cheers

    This is right up my street mate, lets see if I can sort a trade out !
    I have a Swanni ranger in green and brown check OR in blue and black check ( both New Zealand made ) Both large 46"+
    ( I am a 46 chest, these fit of an itch proof base layer! )
    A pair of size 10 Lacrosse safty pack boots ( lace up, leather uppers, only worn on an Arctic trip.) with 11mm wool felt liners ( US made)
    Any of these any good?
    Chris.
