Very nice

Much better copy of a Denison smock than a cheap unused second hand 2nd pattern Kay Canvas one I picked up several years ago. No duplication of the print design that I've noticed, press studs seem pretty solid as well.
Sizing charts could do with covering the full range, I'm roughly 5' 10" and generally take a 38" chest but the size chart on the list in the advert only starts from large and doesn't show the length for the long models. I stuck with going for a medium but opted for the long length, and by Jove is it long. Chest wise it's great, enough space to wear it over some thick clothes and/or webbing, length wise it sits just above my knees. For realism (going off of pictures of troops during the war) that's a bonus, as a lot of troops are pictured with smocks longer than them, although this does slightly impede ones movement if they plan on doing anything physical in it.
Thinking of ordering a 2nd pattern at a future date, although will opt for the non-long version for that. The only thing externally that could do with improving is the buttons on the shoulder epaulets as they are a bit too chunky and plastic looking, and internally having a mock up of an actual Denison smock label with an approximation of the size. For the medium long I'd equate that to roughly a size 7 of an original for length and maybe a size 4 or 5 for chest.
Delivery was rapid, from the notification it had shipped from the depot in UAE to it arriving at my door in Wales was 48 hours, I can't even get mail that quick if somebody two doors down from me shipped something 48hr delivery in this country.
Now I just need to roll around in a field and wear it out a bit to get the shine off the fabric.

Well it certainly stacks up as a very nice item, currently putting some age into it. Quality is very very good, loved the camp patterning.
I have added a couple of newey studs for the tail flap.
One note was the press studs pop open quite easily, don’t know if that can looked at going forward.
Service and communication was excellent throughout the ordering and delivering process.
Well done WPG. I shall be a return customer based on this experience .
