Description
(WINTER)
An authentic reproduction of the
WW-2 German 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 have produced.
We obtained an
original jacket from a fighter pilot who flew the legendary ME-262 in
Germany at the Leipheim Airport in Ulm, where all the V3 jets
were tested.
The first ME-262 V3 was flown by Fritz Wendel on the
18.07.1942. The Channel Jacket was specially developed for pilots
deployed on the eastern front and only meant for flight personal
between 1943 -1945.
The
complex work that has gone in to the production of these jacket are
evident, two different jackets are produced, one out of cotton,
and
one of sheepskin, they are then combined together. The lamb fleece
has been tanned in exactly the same way as it was done in 1942.
The Italian cotton is also specially produced for us, and woven on 60 year old machines. The map pocket and oxygen holder are included exactly as they were on the original jacket.
