PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Later pattern, three quarter length, lightweight, waterproofed, white and field-grey, cotton/rayon blend construction reversible, pull-over, snow camouflage anorak features a short, vertical, V-neck slash with five pair of alloy lace-up grommets and a woven, white cotton/rayon drawstring. The V-neck slash has dual, overlapping, wind flap panels with three, stitched button eyelets to each and corresponding buttons to both the white and field-grey sides. The anorak has three, horizontally aligned, patch pockets running across the upper breast. The two side pockets feature reversed, box pleats, while the central pocket is non-pleated and all three pockets have scalloped, button down, flaps. The anorak had a tunnel looped, fit adjustment, drawstring positioned horizontally at the waistline. The drawstring is absent and was only accessible from the white side, being inserted through two, alloy grommets. The anorak has straight cut, dual-ply hemmed, sleeve cuffs with two, small, vertical tapering darts and a horizontal fit adjustment strap with a corresponding, steel, gripper buckle and a vertical, retaining loop to each. The cuffs also both have two small, vertical slashes allowing the fit adjustment straps to be utilized on either the field-grey or white sides. The upper sleeves each have dual buttons designed to attach a colored identification armband for front line troops. The anorak has an integral hood with a tunnel looped, woven white cotton/rayon drawstring to the forward edge with two corresponding alloy drawstring grommets. One of the grommets is absent. The reverse tail skirt has dual, horizontal, slash pockets with scalloped button down flaps. The bottom edge of the tail skirt has a dual-ply hem. The interior of the anorak has a unique, vertical, securing strap, machine stitched to the lower reverse tail skirt. The securing strap has four, stitched, button eyelets with a corresponding button positioned on the interior lower front tail skirt. The securing strap was designed to go between the wearer’s legs and affix to the button on the interior front tail skirt. The interior reverse back panel also had an additional button designed to hold the securing strap out of the way when not in use. The anorak is reversible with all the features appearing on both sides. The anorak shows moderate age and usage toning through-out, a fair sized hole to the central breast pocket on the field-grey side and no fewer then twenty, small machine stitched, patch repairs with the patches being applied to the white side. Two of the internal pocket bags also have machine stitched patch repairs with one being in a SS pattern camouflage material. The anorak has no visible size or manufacturer’s markings. The buttons are all the ersatz, pressed, field-grey and white cardboard type and all appear to have their original stitching. The anoraks were cut large enough to fit over the standard uniform and this example would fit a roughly 44" chest.
