Desert DPM SAS Smock-Non Issue??

Not 100% sure if this is pre 91 or not so if in wrong place i apologise.

Any ideas on this guys-non issue/private purchase?

Zips are YKK.

Dunno,but I like it either way.

Nice one. This is a neat smock!

Thanks guys,wasnt in the market for one but it looked different from the current ones so thought what the hell.

Massive on me though-like a Circus Tent so ill never get a chance to wear it!!

Sleeves,no problem

Main body i could fit 4 of me into it.im only a skinny git with a 38ish chest

Looks to be standard S95 or later kit. Chest rank is the tipoff. The tags also look to be MoD and not private.

The early S95 kit had shoulder epaulettes and no chest rank. Then the jackets, at least, had epaulettes and chest rank, then just the chest rank.

With the NSN starting SAS i doubt its issue but who knows???

Also werent S95 Ripstop?

Having said that,my interest in Temperate DPM ends in 1982 so am not really clued up on the later more modern patterns as they dont interest me one bit.

Same buttons as the early S95 Shirts/Trousers and same material as the early S95 Junglies

As i said im not clued up with much post 1982 but all the limited amount of S95 stuff i have had was in ripstop with Canadian type slotted buttons??

The S95 stuff went through the usual bumps and twists as it matured. The early desert stuff used the older dish style buttons before moving to the Canadian style. I've got 4 different shirts here that are post 1995. Two have dish buttons, two do not. There are other differences such as shoulder and chest epaulettes.

The temperate stuff comes in both ripstop and smooth poly/cotton. The poly/cotton stuff has Canadian buttons and is all over the place. The ripstop stuff also uses Canadian style buttons.
