Black canadian uniform

[Jordan Baker]

There is a few more pictures in the link below.

Some are clearly black coveralls and a couple could be black battledress. Unfortunately the pictures aren’t just quite clear enough.

Just a thought.

If that blouse was an early issue from a contracted order, it would probably have been made with black wool cloth which would have been pretty much colour fast.

If it was a postwar die job, the colour would have a tendency to bleed. Can it be tested in an inconspicuous spot with a little warm soapy water on a white cloth and see if the colour transfers to the cloth?
