French TTA 47 Allegee (1950’s)

These jackets are a more “lightweight” version of the standard TTA47.  Most notably they were not produced with lower pockets, and they tend to be shorter in length. These seem to be closer to a shirt than an actual jacket, perhaps intended for hot weather.

Sample 1:

• 

Has lizard camouflage print on a similar poplin fabric to TAP 47/54.  Named and dated to 1954.  Shoulder reinforcements are a post-1952 feature.  Buttons do not appear to be original to uniform.
