1960’s BRITISH RAIL UNIFORM BLUE COTTON OVERALL JACKET
NEW-OLD-STOCK – MEDIUM SIZE (See Measurements) – TRAIN DIRVERS JACKET
BRITISH MADE “PRACTICAL UNIFORMS LONDON SW12”
IDEAL HERITAGE RAILWAY OR HOME FRONT REENACTMENT
Here I am selling a genuine 1960’s Vintage old-pattern British Rail Uniform issued blue cotton chore jacket / overall jacket, standard working dress for British railway workers for decades.
Coat is of the standard “chore coat” pattern, made from an indigo dyed blue cotton with three front patch pockets, inside pocket and rubber buttons to the front. The jacket is not dated but going by the other uniforms it came with it will date from the mid 1960’s or earlier.
CONDITION: Jacket is new-old-stock, unworn so it is in perfect physical condition, it has been in storage for many decades so it is a little dusty but is otherwise in perfect condition.
SIZE: Accodring to the label the jacket is size “9”, I would suggest that this is a typical MEDIUM size. On the tape measure it comes up as follows: 47″ chest (23.5″ armpit-to-armpit), 19.5″ across the shoulders, 19″ under-arm, 27.5″ from collar seam to bottom hem of coat.
These older pattern BR uniforms are getting harder and harder to find each year, like I said they are great for Heritage Railway volunteers ad are perfect for multi period living history and re-enactment. This jacket would also of course be great for casual wear, it makes a change from the usual French made efforts, this is a true piece of British workwear history in its own right!
I am listing other items from the same collection of vintage British Rail uniforms so please check my other listings!
