WW2 British 'Oversuit , Tank Crews ' 1944
A now very hard to find 1944 dated British army Tank Crews Suit otherwise known as the 'Pixie Suit' .
This piece has its original clothing label still present to inside of cuff giving maker name & size as well as the all important date of 1944. A used item I have gently tested both of the front full length zips & they still work perfectly . Also the internal harness strap system is still present as well as its waistbelt . Brass pop studs as is correct. Some grubbiness through general wear overall so looks the part for a battle hardened British tankie !
These can be seen in period footage being used by tank crews & are particularly applicable to the NW Europe theatre of war.
A very rare wartime suit the only ones usually seen are the almost visually identical postwar issues with non brass pop studs & 1950s dates.
