British Union of Fascists Tunic

A rare example of an upper medium size all-black British Union of Fascists tunic, constructed in the ribbed black material that is consistent with other known examples. Although not maker marked, these tunics were typically supplied by a company named Abbey Supplies in south-east London.

All twelve original buttons are present. The original size tag beneath the collar has shredded from wear. The tunic shows clear signs of substantial use. A notable variation from other examples is the presence of an elasticated back panel at the base—an uncommon feature.

Accompanying the tunic is a painted wooden sign measuring 64 cm x 50 cm, finished in black with white lettering that reads:
“Your presence with us shows your sympathy with us, join us, be one of us, join here and now.”
