If only they came in men's sizes.

If the most common tan tank suit is a $700US item, then how much would a large sized 1944 dated camouflage Tank Suit worth?

Nice suit Ed...........

I'm 5'10" and a size 5 is about right, bearing in mind they're an over suit.

Link below is one that ended on eBay late December. Was surprised at how high it went for at $1033 since they didn't mention it retaining a tag. Although they may not have known where to look for it since they hid them on the tank suits. Figure it was a size 3 or 4. Has repairs and seems to be missing the hood.

I was under the impression that the camouflaged pixi suit was not actually issued during wartime...so from that point of view would they not be worth less than a normal wartime one?

Although the label in the right sleeve says "Tank crews" I believe the camouflaged version was mainly used by "open topped" armored car crews.
Can't find many wartime photo's anyway showing the camouflaged version.
