Spanish Civil War, Republican, ‘Mono’, Coveralls.

Dark khaki, ‘mono’ coveralls with a fold-down collar and two pleated breast pockets, plus an additional pocket over the right buttock made these items of uniform popular for their large pocket capacity. The addition of ‘epaulettes’ allowed for the easy wear of the M1923/6 leather equipment as they prevented slippage off the shoulder. They became most associated with the Republican militias and foreign volunteers.
This example has all its correct wood buttons, to the front chest, shoulder epaulettes and rear pocket with its true composite buttons to the fly also in place.
This example in mint, un-worn condition with its original makers stamp and sized to a ‘small’ size ‘3’.
A rare chance to obtain a uniform item that could form the basis of a Spanish Civil War mannequin display, cheaper than buying separate shirt/tunic and trousers.
Priced to reflect its rarity in the UK, mint condition and being a rare Republican survivor, as much was destroyed during the Franco period.

Please note there are one or two areas where the stitching has come loose, I have left these for the purchaser to decide whether to repair or leave the history as is.
