Trial DPM PCS PECOC Smock

just won the auction for this trial DPM PCS/PECOC smock, i say PCS/PECOC as other trial items seem to state PECOC even though its issued now as PCS? This is the picture from the auction, i'll take a few more when it arrives.

Cool mate, look forward to seeing more detailed shots ,when it turns up.

right then, sorry for the delay, judging by some of the features this jacket (/smock?) looks very trial indeed if its not commercial, which i certainly hope it isnt.


unlike other current issue versions the chest pockets are closed by zips:

Large tilted pockets on both upper arms

Showing flap fastening of upper arm pockets, note the black button, was expecting the standard green ones

two smaller pockets on the forearms, assuming for padding like the UBACS, again zip closed

and finally the label, which, in my experience says all the right things about an MoD item, but obviously no NSN, however also no mention of trials?

very interesting bit of kit...very hard to figure out its authenticity, the sleeves pockets looks very legit

the material looks to be the thin mtp ones, is it?

im not overly sure about the material but i did note its definitely lighter than the cs95 stuff

just come across this if anyone wants oneof their own:

Looks very cool Mate, Ilasco are on the Defence clothing register, so I wouldn't rule out commercial as such, Trial piece a strong possibility.

Thats what I thought (and hoped!)

I'm sure the CD06 = Contract Defence???

Is it possible that it was a trial piece for a contract bid? Purely a stab in the dark and by the way I have no knowledge of contracts and bidding so ignore me if I sound stupid.

And there are trousers for complete set:

very nice! i noticed the same buttons and zips, did the padding come with the trousers? my shirt did not unfortunately

Yes - pads included.

Dessie one here:

And now is jacket to complete set. Smock is different than jacket from 1 post(green velcro):

Very cool duncan! Where on earth do you find all your kit??

I wrote about this somewhere. I work in wholesale military

We have tons of stuff on British Army - PLCE, DPM uniforms, DDPM uniforms, MTP uniforms, patches, rank slides, smocks, hats, ospreys, assault vests, etc...











It's work in paradise

Ah i see! Im very jealous it must be said.

I shoot you - check pics from my lat post

WOW

That is what i picture heaven to be like.

Yep.

Show more pics your jacket.

Theres not really much more to see, want to see anything specific?

Yes - inside to zip/express pockets. (is there compass pouch and mesh net like in my jacket?)

I think, Your jacket is a part of set with my trousers, and my jacket is in other trial complete set

Duncan - if any of the PCS DPM Trousers come your way, will you give me a heads up and we may be able to sort something out.
