Summary
Vest; Singlet - Machine knitted cream wool singlet with round neck and button front fastening, short sleeves. Label 'Jay Smedley. Grenadier Pure Wool Trimming Excepted. Made in Great Britain. 40'. It is interesting to see that the wearer chose two sizes larger when buying wool singlets, presumably to allow for shrinkage. 1940 (circa)
