GPW made winter weight Gym?

[ade stevenson]

Hi Guys, I would welcome your thoughts about this Obr 43 Gym. I was given it by a member of our living history group who thought that it would be OK to cut up for a medical scenario. However, I think it is too good for that, even with the rodent / moth damage to it.

I feel it might be a wartime produced example? Sadly all the buttons are missing, and it is evident that several had been replaced with different coloured threads over time.

I am not very familiar with winter weight uniforms, having only ever owned summer weight items in the past.

Please have a look at the following pics and see what you think? I like the use of different materials to the linings to the front, the cuffs and the pockets. The pockets lack the small internal ID book pocket which I beleive were a post war addition.

Cheers, Ade.
