A new reproduction of the KD SD tunic worn by British and Commonwealth officers from 1900 to the 1960's. Made in 100% cotton and fitted with brass General Service buttons.

What period does this tunic represent?

This reproduction tunic is based on the Khaki Drill Service Dress tunic worn by British and Commonwealth officers. It covers a broad historical period, from 1900 to the 1960s. The tunic is suitable for a World War 1 impression, though some tailoring may be required. It is also excellent for a World War 2 impression.

What material is the tunic made from?

The tunic is made from 100% cotton. The fabric is described as sturdy and substantial. It is an unlined garment.

Is the waist belt attached or removable?

The product description states the belt is sewn onto the tunic. However, some tunics have shipped with a separate belt, while others have the belt stitched in place. If the belt is stitched, it is easy to remove with a seam ripper.

Are brass hooks for a Sam Browne belt included?

The brass hooks for a Sam Browne belt are often not included with the tunic. Some tunics ship without them, and if replacements are sent, there may not be eyelets to fix them into. This may require some work for a World War 1 impression.

What kind of buttons are used on the tunic?

The tunic is fitted with brass General Service buttons. The buttons are attached in a military style, through sewn eyelets. However, some buttons may be loose without retaining rings.

Are there any notable internal features?

The tunic includes a watch pocket in the right waist. It also features sweat guards in the armpits. There is no inner pocket on the right side for a shell dressing, which some original tunics had.
