WW1 Australian AIF Tunic – 1st Pattern (Reproduction)
This faithfully reproduced 1st Pattern Australian Imperial Force (AIF) tunic represents the earliest issue of service dress worn by ANZAC troops during the First World War. Introduced in 1914, it was based on the British 1902 pattern but modified to suit Australian requirements.
Crafted from heavy khaki-drab wool serge, the tunic features four large patch pockets with pointed flaps, a stand-and-fall collar, and a five-button front. Reinforced stitching ensures durability in the field, while the tunic’s slightly looser cut provides comfort in hot and rugged climates. Distinctive Australian details include pleated breast pockets and unique pocket arrangements, setting it apart from its British counterpart.
Ideal for collectors, museums, and reenactors, this reproduction captures the authentic look and feel of the uniforms worn at Gallipoli and throughout the Great War by the men of the AIF.
