Meant for tank crews!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis silhouette is of the era, also utilized by the British and Belgian armies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI couldn't find specific details on this exact tank suit, and while British and Belgian models turned up in my research, I traced the zipper manufacturer to a French company that went out of business in the 60s, so it is likely of French military origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI came across this piece during last month's buying trip in France, and I was shocked by how cool it looked in person. Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details are truly wonderful. Military gear is just so cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt features two zips running from the collar to the ankles. It can be fully opened. Please see the photos!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a sturdy zip at the crotch, so bathroom breaks are smooth. Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm glad. An important point. Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI liked it so much that I wore it around for a day while in France for sourcing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was able to go about my day without any issues. If anything, it was incredibly convenient. And warm, too! Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an aside, I was wearing this tank suit when I ate at a restaurant and got food poisoning from raw oysters, which wasted the rest of my buying trip. Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, I’ve washed it once since returning to Prague!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiverging from the topic, there are 3 pockets on the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 7 pockets on the outside. They are a very usable size. It's really convenient. Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two waist pockets are pass-through style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you open the two front zips, there is an inner flap secured by 4 buttons, but one button is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn't affect wear and isn't visible, so it should be fine!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActually, it might even be better not to button it up when wearing it. Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is lighter than you might imagine, so I think it's stress-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of the repairs is also tasteful... anyway, it's just cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit is also wonderful...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think it’s the right size for anyone from 165cm to 180cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can still layer plenty underneath. Though it's plenty warm already!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s strange how military gear, designed at the time with practicality and climate in mind, ends up looking so modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you were to make this today, it would be a huge project, including the cost. Haha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease look at the photos from the collar to the ankles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA special tank suit!! A collectible piece.
