Extremely rare original SOE / OSS Jumpsuit or ‘Striptease suit’
Extremely rare, original, unissued condition British made Jumpsuit for use with the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) or US OSS(Office of Strategic Services). These jumpsuits, nick named ‘Striptease suits’ were worn on top of civilian clothing by secret agents dropped over occupied territory. These suits were to be worn during the jump and immediately discarded after. These coveralls are made in a heavy duck with hand screened camouflage pattern. Most of these rare coveralls found post war use as tank coveralls where the back pad pouch on the back was removed and a hood added. This is a unissued and unmodified example in perfect condition with three of its original zippers in working condition. There is not another one on the market where they are only rarely offered. For sure one of the most rare items I’ve ever had the chance to offer. A museum piece!
