Code: U26137

SOLD

Standard four-pocket khaki drill jacket with faux French cuffs.  Tailored by R.P.N. Tarshotam of Bulawayo.  It physically measures approximately 40" at the chest so is quite small.  Fitted with belt and buckle, brass buttons, removable epaulettes with flight lieutenant rank lace and a really good heavily padded King's crown pilot wing.  All of these are attached in such a way that they could easily be removed for laundering purposes, the wing with pop studs, the rest with split rings.   Some soiling and a couple of darned repairs on the right arm.  With manufacturer's label.  Stock code U26137.
