The original versions of this smock from Pakistan have been sold for 40+ years as "Rhodesian." The Major sold many of these himself and also wore out several of them personally because they were so comfortable in warm weather.
Now we have recreated this very practical garment in our lightweight shirt fabric.
What is the quality of the smock's construction?
The smock is generally well-constructed and well-built. The pockets and buttons are secure and do not fall off. However, some smocks may have minor attention to detail issues, such as a missing line of stitching on a pocket or sleeve seams that do not align with the cuffs.
What is the fabric like and how does it perform in different climates?
The smock is made from a lightweight shirt fabric. It is very lightweight and comfortable in warm weather. It is suitable for use in hot and humid climates.
What is the camouflage pattern like?
The smock features a Rhodesian Brushstroke camouflage pattern. The pattern is described as looking good and being spot on. The colour match between the smock, cap, and trousers is not bad.
How should the smock be cared for?
The smock can be washed, but care should be taken with drying. It will shrink if tumble dried. It is recommended to hang dry the smock to prevent shrinkage.
Are there any common modifications made to the smock?
Some smocks have sleeve openings that are positioned on top of the arms, which some modify by moving extra buttons to the mid-opening of the forearms. The lower pockets are sometimes moved to the upper arms. Some also suggest reversing the tabs on the hem to face the rear.
What is the design of the smock?
The smock features a pullover design with a half-placket front. It is a practical garment. The sleeves are often kept rolled up.
