Wool serge naval jacket with separate blue and white collar, white undershirt with sleeve badge, and (very) wide wool serge trousers.

Jacket is original 1941 issue with attached Admiralty tag giving dimensions (28" length and 22" width at bottom of jumper)
Not sure if trousers came as part of the original suit as they have a metal zip marked Newey, but they came out of storage as a piece as vintage over 10 years ago and have been in a cupboard ever since. Trousers are very long and very wide - label marked C6!

No stains, loose threads or moth holes. Non-smoking household - and, amazingly, they don't smell of old clothes! Very bulky though hence high P&P.

Starting price of £30 - ideal for a naval re-enactor and it's in ever such good condition. The Hairy Bloke acquired it some years ago from Kings Lynn Sea Cadets where they'd had a whole heap of stuff wished upon them by the admiralty.
Will post anywhere ;-)
Bit of a cheat I know but if anyone has any questions and wants to PM either me or the Hairy Bloke we will do our best to answer....
