In South Africa, the British Denison smock evolved into this stylish and functional jacket. We have recreated this iconic jump smock in our Rhodesian camo and in Rhodesian Arid camo:
- Standard Brushstroke (SB) - Look at sizes starting with SB- Size XX
- Arid Dry Season Camo (AD) - Look at sizes starting with AD- Size XX
What camouflage patterns are available for this smock?
The smock is available in two Rhodesian camouflage patterns. You can choose between the Standard Brushstroke (SB) pattern or the Arid Dry Season Camo (AD) pattern. When ordering, look for sizes starting with SB- for the brushstroke pattern and AD- for the arid pattern. Both are reproductions of the Rhodesian standard brushstroke or arid pattern.
How does the sizing of the smock run?
The smock's sizing can be inconsistent, with some finding it runs a little big before washing. After washing, the fit can become more comparable to an overshirt or suit jacket. Some jackets are described as oversized to accommodate a liner, while others fit more like a larger small or small medium. It is recommended to check the measurements and consider sizing up if you typically wear a medium.
Is the reproduction accurate to the original SADF Slangvel?
The smock is a very faithful recreation of the Slangvel para jacket. It is described as a pretty spot-on copy of the second pattern Slangvel. The pattern is close to accurate and almost 100% close to an original SADF pattern. The quality cloth and workmanship contribute to its accuracy.
How does the smock fit after washing?
After washing, the smock can fit like an overshirt, men’s suit jacket, or sports coat. It may not fit as loose as a typical field jacket. The fit across the shoulders and chest is generally fine.
Is there room for layering under the smock?
The smock offers room for a sweater or liner for colder days. Some jackets are designed to be oversized to accommodate a liner. This allows for versatility in different weather conditions.
What are the notable features of the smock's construction?
The smock features a very good zip, indicating robust construction. The pocket snaps are present, though the rivet backing can catch under a finger nail when retrieving items. The overall workmanship is of good quality.
