Reproduction British WW2 Leather Jerkin.
Finding the heavy animal skins and pelts that were
experimented with during the winter of 1915 unsuitable for the modern
battlefield, in 1916 British troops were instead issued with
the leather jerkin. Designed to protect against the cold and elements,
without inhibiting freedom of movement, the jerkin proved popular with officers
and the ranks alike.
Such was the popularity and practicality of the
leather jerkin it continued to be issued to British and Commonwealth troops. It
was virtually unchanged to the WW1 design, with four buttons fastening up the
middle, thick wool inside and soft leather protecting from the wearer from the
elements while outdoors. The jerkin remained a common sight labourers and
manual workers in the decades following the war.
An excellent reproduction of the
hard-wearing British Leather Jerkin.
