Hey Gulf
I have a French Mountain Anorak/Smock
The label has the following info: Pauwels Paris,4-61
Have a few crappy photos, but I think they are clear enough to show the 3 cords that are original to the piece.
Hope this helps. rip...

Green Hooded Windproof Smock
Hey G,
You are very welcome.
Did you check the left pocket of your smock for a label ?
I have to check the inside of mine for markings that I have not looked for as of yet.

Hello G 91
I have checked for markings similar to the ink stampings on your smock but found none.
There is a label at the nape of the smock similar to yours that has the following info: 96-100 with a C under the numbers.
I am curious to know if your smock has a label in the left pocket.
Thanks, rip...

1950s/60s Windproofs
Hello all,
Great posting of an obscure series of French windprrofs, teysseire 1972, also good photos of the windproofs in use.
Does anyone know which trousers would be correct to match this series of windproofs ????
Thanks all around....rip...

Windproof
Hello t '72,
Wow, this is getting more and more interesting.
Nice collection of Olive pieces. Love the Argentine versions, and the trousers are awesome.
The reversible capabilities of these great garments make them even more awesome and versatile.
Very nice. Thanks for posting..
The French reenactor photo is very cool; the Lizard trousers look great with the Olive smock.
