A couple of shots showing one of the new tank suits. It has the same weight as my smaller original but is much more supple and easy to move in compared to the stiffness of the original. My original is a size 5 but I had this one built as a fantasy size 7 so I can wear full battledress underneath if we ever play up north during the winter months. Temps were hovering around 50F when we took these so I was only wearing shorts and a tee shirt underneath so the suit hangs loosely on me but was nonetheless very comfortable.
PS - should have worn a tanker badge for the shots with the Sherman but it was a spur of the moment opportunity ;-)
