[image source_type=”attachment_id” source_value=”109″ align=”left” lightbox=”true” size=”medium”] This is one of my favorite, it’s a tropical female military blouse produced by Compton, Sons & Webb Ltd. from the R.A.F and it’s dated from around 1965. I have buy this blouse as my intention to make deeper research about female military garments.

It’s no easy to find female military issued clothing, but to discover one is always a great find.

The R.A.F. Blosue is very rare and have a intonse beautiful labelling with all the issue inscriptions, also the hand-stamp mark is very nice and interesting.
