British Denison smocks

The third variant introduced in 1961
Also a Whitley bag made in a different fabric but using the same camouflage pattern.

The fourth variant of the 1959 pattern.
Not sure if it’s the dyes between manufacturers, 60 years of washing/sun bleaching but a demonstration of the same pattern in different hues.
I also believe that white balance settings in cameras has attributed to a more yellow, “banana” colour that is visible to the naked eye. Hence why some refer to this version as the banana.
The last image is of the same smock, but the base colour/hue is totally different between the images.

First image is Theo’s collection.

Third image is my current collection, with a couple of fantasy/reproductions I had made.
Tried to work out the patterns for the 3rd and 4th variants as I couldn’t find any Size 8’s.
