Canadian Para Smock

The Canadian Parachutist Smock was issued to the Canadian Airborne Regiment from 1975 until the regiment was disbanded in 1995 and to all units of 1 SSF Brigade including the 1st Battalion of The Royal Canadian Regiment based in London, Ontario. Made of 'Reverse DPM' camouflage, it is very similar to the British issue para smock but with more features. It replaced the Denison smock in the 1950s but the first issue post war para smock was olive green until the arrival of DPM in 1975.
