Vintage Italian Marina Militare battledress blouse

[Jon Crow]

Too cold for this now so haven't worn it out since I bought in November, but I can't wait to wear it in Spring, it's a Italian Navy denim battledress blouse from the 70s but they had them earlier, same usage as a ww2 British battledress denim blouse, work uniform, this on submarines and ships, or informal uniform, not easy to find but you do see them now and then here in Europe.

Cheers Ben, lucky with a size 48, lot I've seen have been tiny, or huge

I think the British denim BD was 40 pattern, this is based on the old 37 pattern British
