ME - 262 Channel Jacket
Flight Jacket "Channel Jacket" Version ME 262
Summer Flight Jacket German Airforce WW II
An authentic reproduction of the WW-2 German Summer Flight Jacket (Channel Jacket)
The jackets are in Airforce blue like the fighter pilots, dogfight pilots, night
fighter pilots and stuka pilots wore in the German airforce durring WW-2.
This could be the most rare variation of WW-2 flight jackets. It`s production
was more complicated than any other jacket
we`ve produced untill now. We obtained the original jacket from a fighter pilot
who flew the legendary ME-262 here at the
Leipheim Airport in Ulm, where all the ME-262 V3 jets were tested.
The first ME-262 V3 was flown by Fritz Wendel in 18.07.1942.
The ME-262 Channel Jacket was specially developed later for pilots deployed
on the eastern front, and only meant for flight personal durring the time period
between 1943 to 1945.
The Italian cotton used for this jacket is specially produced for us, and woven
on 60 year old machines. Of course the map pocket and oxygen holder are included
exactly like they were on the original jacket.
The Channel Jacket: a piece of wearable airforce history.
