This is a fantastic example of a genuine 1959 Pattern Denison Smock, dating from 1961 1962 manufactured by BMC (only manufacturer of 59 patterns up until 1963). This example is offered in excellent, field used condition. It features brass buttons and a "monkey tail". Size appears to be a No. 4 which is medium large and fits up to a 5' 8" man. The service number is too difficult to make out properly as is the name,
