Spot on jim! I just think the pants should be a bit more brown but other than that not bad at all.

Yup! The pants should be brown with a huge cargo pocket on the left thigh. The shoes should be black too. And i'm using german gaiters. These are the things i still have to caoorect in the future. |

Some comments: Smock seems to short, Web gear should be Blanco greened, black boots... besides that an awsome impression start.

Is the Denison the Belgian type? 'Cause I read they were shorter than the Brit one.

It could be a belgian denison. The pattern is a little different. Aside from the length, it fits me perfectly. Anyway it was a steal at $45usd! Most repros cost around 100+usd and this one is original. I know i need to blanco the webbing...maybe i could just dye it or paint it in the future. Aside from the stuff being hard to find, it reportedly leaves stains on the uniform as well. |

Apparently the belgian denison smock is the same cut as the british 2nd pattern denison.
