For Sale: 1945 Tanker Oversuit

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Duson,

Thanks for posting this. I will send measurements shortly.

With many tall people in Holland you should be able to sell large sizes here as the wartime clothing often is too small.

Regards
Hanno

A lot of 15 Recce folks are away at an event this weekend.


When they are back and thawed out from the field tactical, I will beat on them to get their measurements in, or at least to declare a standard size to order.

Cheers, Jim

I have measured civilian workshop coverall and compared to the Canadian sizing label attached to my old coverall.

According to my calculations the size 6 is approx. a 46 tall....size 7 a 48 tall....

I am 6'2" (188cm) 220 pounds ( 100 K)
42 waist (109cm)

I want to make sure that there is some room for shrinkage and possibly a heavy sweater on cold days.
I can wear a size 6 over jeans and a heavy shirt but very tight as Joyce had to peel it off my back when finished.


So here is my order....
---2 denim green tank crew suits size 7.

Also I would be interested in having 2 of the same tank suits size 7 made with tan denim IF you can show me a sample of the color..... wash and faded color is fine.

They will be shipped to Ottawa Canada will provide detailed address when you are ready.

Thanks

OK Dusan here are the sizes needed for the recce group in Virginia:

Size 4 - 2
Size 5 - 5
Size 6 - 2
Size 7 - 1
Size 8 - 1

Those would all be shipped to me in Virginia.

Jim it would be best to have the ones for you guys up north shipped direct to you separate from our order.

The Jungle Tank Suit is different from the denim Tank Suit and was not worn in NW Europe. Besides the different material and colour, the Jungle Tank Suit has a 'trap door' in the back and they are dated 1945.

...could be very convenient for a Oudini emergency evacuation.

I guess I will have to repaint my truck in some sand color and claim to be part of a Qiwi detatchment.
