Uniforms for the Services: drafts and construction guides of WW2 British Uniform

[OlymposPartizanos]

Full Original Title: Uniforms for the Services - Including Drafts, Specifications and Plates, Naval, Military, Air Force, Women's Auxiliary Service and Civil Defence

It is a book published 1940 By Tailor & Cutter. I only got part of it scanned, including drafts of service jacket, patrol jacket, trench coat, battledress (1937 Pattern), and a construction guide of battledress.

Also I just started making a battledress according to this guide recently. For now it feels just right.

How goes the battle dress project?
For reenactment?

Thank you for the scans, I'd love to see the whole thing.  I have a few WWI/WWII uniform books, but I'm always curious to see other ones.

Do you mind if I can see some of your collections?

Somehow I have an incomplete copy of the British Battledress trousers

[Schneiderfrei]

I would like to request that, if possible,could you share some of the trouser drafts. Please

Thank you so much LeiaOrgana2187!

Yes Hendrick,

I've seen a photo of marshall Montgomery in one of these...

And it takes me right back to "The Rat Patrol" 1960 something. The 'English' soldier was was almost certainly wearing army surplus anyway.

I'm definitely going to play with this.

Maybe Partizanos might have a higher quality copy of the trousers pattern in the book. On top of possible construction guides like the Battledress itself.

Yours is good enough to go on with. I don't see any indecipherables.

Thanks, interesting...

Glancing over it, "Erastus Piggott (ltd) on 39 Gutter Lane in Cheapside, London EC2" blew my tweeter!

LeiaOrgana2087,

Yours is good enough to go on with. I don't see any indecipherables.

Edit: Actually it's a lot harder than I thought. The discernability of the fractions is poor.

Lets keep looking.

MTOCv3, maybe...

Hope nobody recoils on old war items when we've so many real-time atrocities ongoing covered in HD. I now know why a few friends used to wake up screaming.
