British Snow Suit

Original WWII British Snow Suit. The snow suits were heavy-weight white coloured cotton garments that were issued to be worn during periods of cold weather while the terrain was covered in snows. The jacket remains in good used condition, with staining in areas where equipment was worn, a cut to the lower back, and the lower drawstring is not full length. The original label is no longer present. These were also worn by American troops.

NOTE: In real life, the smock is brighter white than photos may show
