Denison Smock (Airborne Troops) – Dated 1942

WWII British Denison smock (Airborne Troops). This is a 1st pattern smock in very good condition, showing only minor signs of wear. The smock has paint stains, likely indicating it was used during some paint work, but overall, it remains in very good condition. The original maker’s label is intact and clearly legible, reading “WAREINGS (N’TON) LTD.,” dated 1942, in size 7. The half zipper is fully functional and marked “Lightning.” The knitted cuffs are in perfect condition, and the tail is present. All brass press-studs are marked “NEWEY,” and the smock is stamped with the WD letter “N,” indicating a 1943 issue date. While Denison smocks are primarily known as Airborne smocks, they were also widely used by Commando units as well as regular British and Canadian infantry troops.

A very fine and original early wartime Denison smock.
