Why on earth would anyone want to buy ex-military clothing from 30-40 years ago? It wasn't much use then (top tip - snow doesn't stick to wolverine fur if the wolverine isn't alive at the time.... ) and would be even worse now.

Search for 'arctic clothing' if you feel disposed to going out in Britain's 2-day winter - but don't waste time on obsolete and largely useless military kit from a bygone age.

'Cold wet gloves' - yes, they truly were....

I wonder which clever person cornered the wolverine culling market and flogged the resulting pelts to a naive HMG? Top marks for enterprise, less so for honesty and decency.
