NIGEL CABOURN US ARMY GAS CAPE - BEIGE CAMO
$695.00
The origin of this garment is a piece of military camouflage history, being as it was one of the first mass produced camouflage items for the British Army. The gas cape was produced early 1930's to protect soldiers from gas attacks, the knee length meant to be worn over your uniform and worn easily. Similarly the collar was intended to protect the neck where the gas mask ended. The original garment was brown patches on a beige or geen background, often the cape was coated in linseed to render it waterproof. Over the years, after being laundered and aged, the brown turned to a pinkish colour and this is the version that has been laboriously reproduced for this piece.
The fit is naturally oversized as previously mentioned and details include raglan sleeve, with stud fastened front placket down to the bottom, stud fastened sleeves, two side pockets and stud fastened chest pocket. The cape also comes with an optional tie to further secure the jacket and give it shape if required.
