1960’s British SBS (Special Boat Squadron) Ventile “Canoeist Smock”. These highly unusual Ventile smocks were made for a very short period of time during the 1960’s in seemingly near nonexistent numbers for a very small and specialized British Special Forces unit. The Special Boat Service is an incredibly elite and highly secretive unit within the British Royal Navy that has an unbelievable history of service throughout WW2 all the way up until present day where they are largely responsible for maritime counter-terrorism. They are essentially the UK’s answer to the US Navy SEALs and are mostly made up of Royal Navy Commandos. The smock is about a niche as they come, being made specifically for Canoe/ Kayak operations. It features a number of very unique pockets including the huge back pocket which could be accessed by the person sitting behind the wearer, the huge iconic angled map pocket on the chest, as well as a tiny pocket on the hood itself, possibly for a compass. All pockets feature small eyelets at the bottom for water drainage. Like many of the fine British Military Ventile smocks of the 50’s/ 60’s this example was made by Belstaff as can be determined by the almost unreadably faded BMC stamp shown in slide 4, next to the Broad Arrow.

British Royal Navy MK3 Belstaff Submariner's Foul Weather Jacket Smock

Produced for a very short period of time for the British Royal Navy and often seen worn by Submarine crews, or on the ice in Antarctica, these Foul Weather Jackets are totally wind and water proof, and this one even comes with the often-missing flotation piece in the hood, to keep the head above water. These were produced by BELSTAFF on a military contract. Double thick nylon construction, adjustable drawstrings at the hood and internally at the waist. Original zippers, pockets, and tags all in perfect condition.
