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

Yes Hendrick,

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,

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.
Pulled it trough PS and some oter filterato... Better?

Similar 'shapes' compared to readable 'shapes' could work? Or just draft and fudge what looks way wonky.
Below the blouse and another jacket from relics file. Might help with fraction recognition. Battledress suits in photos always look like roomy barn clothes.

I had a bit of a better go when I increased the resolution of the original to 200 dots per inch.
300 doing is way better.
