Merrow British Clothing

Over the weekend, I discovered a new and interesting outfitter called Merrow British Clothing. Unfortunately, there’s little information about the company; their website says little and Google yields nothing more. They also only sell one product - a vintage styled smock inspired by alpinist jackets from the ’50s and ’60s. 

Though there’s not much on their website, the one thing they do sell is very appealing. The smock looks much like the ones worn by Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris in The Heroes of Telemark, a 1965 film based on a true story of a Norwegian heavy water sabotage during World War II. These jackets were issued to Scandinavian army cadets up until the 1980s, and you can sometimes find them in army surplus shops and eBay. 

Unfortunately, as the details stay true to the original, so does the sizing. The smallest measures 50 inches around the chest, which is about right for a Norwegian man in the army I suppose. 

I’ve emailed the company to get more information. It may be interesting to see if they’re coming out with other designs and if they plan to make this smock in smaller sizes.
