The Smock Covert SOE is a smock of British origin.[2][3][4]
Overview[]
The Smock Covert SOE was a prototype overhead windproof smock used in Special Operations Executive trials. Not much is known of them as they are extremely rare. Not to be confused with the lightweight two-piece camouflaged windproof suit, which was standard issue to drivers and infantrymen.
It uses the same camo as the SOE/OSS Striptease Suit used for Parachute insertion by allied agents etc. The overhead smock is made from ventile material lined with white wool and has a crotch flap for parachuting, double elbows and canvas strengthened shoulders, 1x large split front pocket with button closures, waist/hood drawstrings and a slight offset zipper.
