British Army Battledress Jacket Size 13 Dated 1954

The British Army Battledress Jacket Size 13 dated 1954 is an original example of the standardized combat uniform issued to British and Commonwealth forces during the mid-20th century. Constructed from khaki wool serge, this jacket reflects post-World War II production and design features introduced during military service in the 1940s and 1950s. The garment includes a button-front closure, pleated breast pockets with concealed buttons, and adjustable waist tabs. The label indicates Size 13, typically suitable for individuals of specific height and chest measurements according to British Army sizing standards of the period. The 1954 date stamp verifies its manufacture after the Second World War, during the years these battledress uniforms remained in widespread use. The jacket’s design is consistent with patterns adopted throughout the British military before being phased out in favor of newer uniforms in the late 1950s. This item represents a tangible artifact of British military dress from the early Cold War era.
