Hi,
Send it back first post in the morning, zips wrong,poppers are wrong & on the this pattern shoud'nt have poppers on the back to hold up the tail. The colour of the material is odd too. Probably a made up piece or a post war denison.

Hi,
NO they never had a draw string, just as well you posted it up here, but then that's what these forums are for.
All the best. Aaron

Yep as others have state it is a repro, going by your picture's its one of the earlier production styles coming out of Pakistan / India. Some of these have colour fastness issues on the screen printed camo which may account for is washed out look, if not someone's used the old Dylon colour run remover trick, which will have the same effect, unfortunately this is a very strong chemical bleaching agent which also attacks the cottons fibres.
