German Channel-Pants (Trousers)
Kanalhose, Horsehide
Version Me 262
Made from genuine argentinian horsehide.

The Channel-Pants were produced for the Luftwaffe, usually in the colors blue or sahara beige. This model was worn exclusivly by the pilots of the Me-262.

The so-called channel pants are kept up by suspenders, and has an attached "belt" on the waist. The long zipper, which reaches from the waistline to deep down the crotch, is held securely closed by a snap-fastener feature on the waistline above the zipper. The ends of the pant legs can be kept tight by a zipper on the inside- and through the zipper the pant legs can also be "opened" and worn over boots.

The seat of the pants is sewn with a double layer. This way the "pant-seat" is extra durable and less likely to break through.

These pants are very rare and unbelievably complex to produce. Our best tailor needs 3 whole working days in order to sew these pants - sewing in 6 zippers especially takes its time.

The pants can also be worn over your normal jeans/pants.
