VENTILE FLIGHT DECK SMOCK
Royal Navy
1986
The Royal Navy first introduced this windproof smock pattern in the 1950s for personnel serving on aircraft carrier decks and continued to issue versions of it until the 1980s. It is made with Ventile, a special woven cotton fabric that was developed by scientists at the Shirley Institute in
Manchester in the late 1930s, utilizing extra-long-staple cotton fibres which are used to weave a high-density fabric that is weatherproof. The hood has a fold-down peak that is held in place by a press-stud, as well as a fold-out face guard. Four straps on the back of the hood allow the wearer
to secure it to their head, and the hood’s interior features a space for a headset. Two tabs located on the jacket’s front allow communication cables to be held in place by press-studs, preventing tangling.
