It all started with a need for a new uniform for the mobilised army to replace ‘Service Dress’. ‘Battledress, Serge’ (1937-8) had smooth lines, concealed buttons & collar with hook & eyes (officers had a collar & tie). It was largely devoid of flashy insignia #BattledressThread 
The original ‘Battledress, Serge’ comprised a ‘blouse’ and high waisted voluminous trousers. (I’m concentrating on the blouse). The collar was extremely tough on the neck, so lining helped, with officers had the neck tailored open #BattledressThread
