Vintage 1940s WW2 Japanese flight suit - antique aviator clothing - military pilot - fur lined
Couldn't load pickup availability
A Japanese brown winter flight suit, dating from the early 1940s. Noted flaws - wear to the rabbit fur lining at the inner ankle and wrist areas, some light shedding to the fur lining, seam split to the lining at the inner waist area, a series of small holes at the lower fly area, hand repair at the right leg pocket, various ingrained marks throughout, missing one of the buttons under the collar, missing the original military label - please see photos. Beautiful design, fabric feels like a cotton/rayon gabardine-type material, strap over storm collar, two zippered chest pockets, two fur lined leg pockets, single back pocket, button fly, fur lining is generally in good, supple condition considering its age, but care should be taken when trying on or wearing, original attached belt with all the rivet holes present, hang loop in the collar, rabbit fur collar, zippered at the ankle and wrist cuffs, a scarce piece of military aviation clothing. Could be worn with care or would make a great display or inspiration piece.
Please request more photos if you need them.
