This Women’s Land Army WLA Bib and Brace is a strong reproduction of the practical workwear worn by Britain’s Land Girls during farm labour and other manual duties. Made from durable 100% cotton drill, it features a classic button bib front, two front pockets, and an original-style label that adds to its period appearance. The overall look is simple, functional, and honest, exactly the kind of garment designed for real work rather than decoration. That makes this bib and brace ideal for WW2 re-enactment, living history, museum display, or as a distinctive piece of historically inspired workwear. Sizes are listed from UK 8 to UK 22. Please note the important fit guidance on the product page: the delivered garments are marked one size larger, meaning a piece labelled UK 12 will fit more like a UK 14, so it is best to order one size smaller than usual.

Historische Context 
During the Second World War, the Women’s Land Army became a vital part of Britain’s food production effort. With many male agricultural workers serving in the armed forces, women were recruited to take over essential farm labour across the country. The WLA was re-formed in June 1939, and by its peak in 1944 it counted more than 80,000 Land Girls. They worked in demanding outdoor conditions and carried out physically tough jobs that were essential to the wartime home front. A garment like this bib and brace reflects exactly that world of practical, hardworking, no-nonsense wartime clothing.
