Default Wow!

I didn't know that the oxen pulling the caissons also wore Battle Dress. Sorry, bad joke. I'm afraid your friend may be out of luck if he (I assume it's a he!) wants an original uniform. Canada produced oversize uniforms during the war...the Brits stopped at size 18 whereas the Canadians carried on from 19 to size 32 although I must admit I don't know what measurements that translates into. I can tell you I've had trouble finding original Battle Dress for my 6' 2" 205lb. frame. What Price Glory in California makes KD (Khaki Drill) uniforms in oversize. Also, they have contracted with Dorothea Mills (I believe) to make repro WWII Canadian berets. I've seen them and the material would be suitable for Canadian Battle Dress. Your friend might be able to acquire enough material and /or contract with WPG for a tailor to make a custom fitting BD. Don't know if that helps or not.

Derek.
