Rhodesian Camo Bush Jacket

This reproduction jacket copies the early production jackets worn by all branches of Rhodesia's Security Forces. It includes the poacher's pocket and elbow pads that featured on those early production jackets. The jacket is also known as the Combat Jacket.

The jacket is made from a heavy twill fabric. It is a thick cotton material. The fabric feels very tough and should hold up for decades.

Sizing for this jacket is generous, and it runs slightly larger than expected. Some jackets are described as massive compared to other items of the same size. It is possible to shrink the jacket down to a more useful size by washing and drying it multiple times.

The armholes and biceps of the sleeves are small for larger arms. This can make the back of the shoulder area tight when reaching forward. The arms are described as ridiculously tiny on some jackets.

This reproduction faithfully copies all details of the original Rhodesian Combat Jacket. It includes the poacher's pocket and elbow pads. Part of the jacket is lined with a light green cotton.

The jacket is very well made with precise stitching and a high-quality feel. The heavy material is anticipated to stand up to use in the field. It is described as having tough construction.
