Ex army charcoal suits.

[Bellycrawler]

Some time ago you could get ex army charcoal suits in dpm & green, for chemical / gas attacks I think they were designed for. Sealed in tough plastic bags. What were they called, NBC suits ??????? I'm clearing out some stuff & found a few I forgot I had, I need to know how to describe them in adverts.

NBC suits.

Whatever you are wearing underneath them turns black from the charcoal.

But at least the ruskies can't get you.

Worth keeping then just in case ????

I remember being told you could wash the charcoal out of them and it would leave you with a good jacket. Never had mine long before it was stolen I never got the chance to try the washing the charcoal out of it.

Yes I can remember getting a right rollicking off my mother about the mess in the bottom of the old washing machine a old twin tub we had back in the day I remember the black sludge in the pump

I planned to let mine soak in a tub of hot water and leave it to dissolve then repeat until it was all gone.

I wore mine fishing and fell in the river. Made a right mess if I remember right of my clothing.

I took it off and left it hanging on a tree near a fire we built and some that passed by stole it.
