British Army Cadet Waterproof Jacket - DPM

Cadet Waterproof in DPM

This is a waterproof jacket issued to British Army cadets, cut as a lightweight outer shell to keep rain off over a shirt or fleece. It is finished in DPM, the British Army's woodland camouflage, so it sits naturally with other British kit. Collectors, reenactors, cadets and anyone who wants a genuine issued rain jacket for the field or the dog walk will find it a practical, authentic piece.

Features

• Waterproof Outer Shell — The jacket is built as a rain layer, meant to go over your other clothing rather than replace it.
• DPM Camouflage — Disruptive Pattern Material, the green, brown, tan and black woodland pattern the British Army used for decades, covers the whole garment.
• High Stand Collar — A tall collar rises around the neck to keep wind and rain from running down inside.
• Covered Front Closure — A full-length storm flap, a strip of fabric laid over the front opening, fastens with a button to shed water away from the closure.
• Two Flapped Lower Pockets — Large patch pockets at the hips have covering flaps to keep rain out of what you carry.
• Adjustable Cuffs — A tab at each wrist lets you tighten the cuff to stop water and draughts getting up the sleeve.
• Hip-Length Cut — The jacket falls below the waist for coverage while leaving room to move.
• Genuine Cadet Issue — This is original British Army cadet clothing, not a commercial copy of the pattern.

British Cadet Issue

The jacket was produced for the cadet forces attached to the British Army, who train in the same DPM uniform tradition as the regulars. Its layout is plain military: stand collar, covered front, flapped pockets and adjustable cuffs, with nothing added for fashion. Owning the issued item gives you the real pattern, colours and construction that collectors and reenactors look for.
