M42 Label Identification

Can you put up some pictures of the zips and the press studs as well please?

no idea mate, but its exactly the same as mine,,, has the same label in the pocket of the jacket.

It looks like a Chinese/SOF repro from the photos but, to be certain you need to look at the quality and colour of the stitching, the size of the chest pockets, the kind of reinforcement on the pockets, the types of zips and press studs fitted, as well as the overall "cut and fit" of it.

The printing on the label is almost identical to my ATF M42, with some subtle differences, such as it being sewn all the way round whereas ATF suit labels are sewn at the top only and ATF suits have the manufacturer as either "ATF" or "Kirkman Mfg Co.", not "Rainbow". The quality of printing isn't as good as an ATF label either.

Thanks guys, my camera isn't that good so i won't trouble you with blurry shots.

Thanks for the help though, theres so much to learn here.

Yep, the fabric in the photos looks like the Chinese ones. Is it a reinforced jumpsuit? If so, are the reinforcements more like thick cotton or oiled fabric?

The general fabric on the ATF/WPG ones are more like denim thickness with a heavy canvas on the reinforcements.

yeah and its a much darker green.

Thats my WPG one.

This is my old one from ages ago from SOF (going back 5+ years now ) God that makes me feel old!!! hehe
