Original era manufacture. This is a well used example with brass Newey snaps, no interior label and in about a size 40. All of the buttons and snaps are present with no torn areas or holes. The pocket flaps are intact and the small flap, or tail, which buttons between the wearers legs is also present. Instead of a zipper neck closure this one has been modified and is now secured with six brass dish-shaped buttons with corresponding cloth button loops. There are some scattered stitch repairs and a small replaced section (about 4x6 inches)on the lower hem edge and overall the smock has a faded look to it. Although this pattern was introduced during WWII, they also saw service with British Para units in later years. Without a wartime dated label inside we cannot be 100% sure its WWII. Now if you are looking for something for display with a good combat look to it, well here you are.
