This is the earliest of these string vests that we have ever seen this one being dated 1941 which was the first year of issue, these vests were worn by commandos and paratroopers underneath their clothing, the vests were made from 1 continuous length of string which as well as helping to keep the wearer warm could be un-ravelled and used in an emergency, they could be added to others to make a strong rope for climbing, etc so an extremely useful bit of kit. This one is 100% original, in nice condition just showing minor dirt marks, it is complete with its original mint cloth label with maker’s details, and early 1941 date. it says size but has no size marking to it, looks around a medium size.
