The tunic was tailored in 1951 by Gieves for a A.P.MacDonald.
The tunic has been used in a few WW2 theatre/tv productions as well as being worn at The Goodwood Revival.
So that it could be worn in the WW2 era, original brass Kings Crown buttons have been added, Kings Crown wings and Wing Commander rank rings on the sleeves. The belt has also been sewn on at the back. All of this has been done by a professional tailor.
Condition – In good used condition.
