Getting quite scarce to find these days is the ARP Pattern 81 Gabardine Coat. One is coming to auction soon and I've also created a new page for this item of clothing  ARP Pattern 81 Gabardine Coat Not a great of information can be found about these ARP Emergency Suits. I have seen a light brown version previously. Often called a siren suit they are perhaps an idea from The ARP Equipment Company to make items for use in the home (or in this case perhaps in an Anderson Shelter). I've not yet seen an advert for the suits or any mention in official documents about them. The suit is made from wool with elasticated cuffs and a zipped front closure. The example shown sold on eBay for nearly £350 (including shipping) in February 2025.  Men's A.R.P. Emergency Suit  Men's A.R.P. Emergency Suit label This is an interesting 8-page booklet the County of Derby issued to its Wardens' Service volunteers. The term N.F.S. (National Fire Service) dates the booklet after August 1941. Lots of detail is tucked onto the pages.  County of Derby Civil Defence Wardens' Service Booklet
