There are no good repro Denison smock available in the UKicon. The Kay Canvas ones are rubbish and they are the only ones available as far as I'm aware.

Your only option will be one of the USAicon makers, which might make one suitable for your height, but even then you might struggle to get one that size I'm afraid.

The best ever repro Dension smocks were made by a guy in the USA named Harlan Glen, who used to run a company called King & Country. He only ever made about 200 or so of them back in the late 90's, and did a run or both 1st Patt and 2nd Patt ones. They were about the closest to original as there has ever been made. They weren't cheap, but they were excellent.
When Harlan packed in the repro uniform business, I heard that another company bought the rights to use the patterns and material supply that he used for his smocks, and they are still made and available, but I've not seen one close up to compare with an original H&G one to verify how close or not they maybe.

These are the ones.

The other advantage of these is that he also sells the material by the yard, so making it possible to mod one to have a sniper telescope poachers pocket if desired.
