British Army Sergeant's REME Mess Jacket 38 Inch Chest

Description

I’ve been keeping this jacket for years — it’s a real gem from the REME, the Army’s engineering branch during WWII. It’s a sergeant’s mess jacket, 38 inch chest, and it’s one of those pieces that just feels like it came out of a photo from the war years. I found it in a family collection back in the day, and it’s been sitting in my storage since.

It’s not flashy or flashy-looking — just a solid, well-made uniform piece, with the right details and patches. I’ve kept it in a dry place, no damage, and it’s still in good shape. It’s not exactly something you’d wear, but it’s a proper piece of history. I’ve got a few other bits from the same era, but this one stands out.

I’m moving out of Addlestone, Borough of Runnymede, and just thought I’d part with it — not because I don’t value it, but because it’s just not going to be used. If you’re into military history or have a collection, it’s a quiet, honest piece that actually shows what the soldiers went through.

It’s worth about £62.99, but that’s not what I’m going for — I’m just giving it away for a bit of a tidy. If you’re into the history of the British Army, especially the REME, this one’s worth a look.
