๐บ๐ธ NSWPP UNIFORM ๐
NSWPP Stormtrooperโs uniform shirt, 1973
Many ST had more than one shirt: an expensive, quality shirt for formal occasions & a cheaper shirt for public activities, where dangers of the shirt being ruined in fight or confiscated (stolen) by the police was always a possibility.
The tie is a clip-on, to prevent the wearer from being choked on a fight or an arrest.
The collar tabs (two red stripes on a black background) indicate the rank of Group Leader (GL). The Swastika pin on the left pocket indicates that this trooper is a full Member (not a Probationary Member or an Official Supporter). The ribbon worn on the left is a party award - in this case, the Party Service Medal. The star in the middle of the ribbon indicates that this trooper has won the award twice. (Appropriate military ribbons were worn at the same location on this right breast.)
NSWPP Stormtrooperโs heavy-duty jacket, circa 1980
Waterproof & lined for winter wear. Had an attached hood.
Thanks to Martin Kerr for the info!
