Authentic reproduction of the WWI ANZAC khaki drill service jacket, as worn by Australian and New Zealand troops in Egypt, the Middle East, and tropical theatres during 1915–1918. This lightweight summer tunic is tailored from durable khaki cotton drill fabric, designed for maximum ventilation and comfort in high temperatures.
It features four patch pockets with scalloped flaps, a five-button front, plain cuffs, and shoulder straps for rank and unit insignia. The collar is cut in the early war stand-and-fall pattern, though later versions adopted an open-collar style for wear with the khaki shirt. Reinforced seams and double-stitched stress points ensure durability under field conditions.
