A 1941 pattern electrically wired Sidcot suit which definitely
saw action. The suit itself wasn't heated, but a wire for glove and foot heating runs across the suit. The wearer could
be heated by using the type D waistcoat underneath the Sidcot. Note: a detachable fur collar is available if the wearer
so decided.
