Original Rare Imperial Japanese WWII Winter Fur Lined Pilot Electric Heated Flight Suit
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Imperial Japanese one piece winter flying suit offered in good original condition. Features superb light brown rabbit fur collar while the body of the suit is lined in white fleece. The shell is made from brown cotton which shows signs of honest wear and age. The snap insert is still present for the electrical wire to be connected, but its stitching is coming undone. The suit has all original zippers fitted to both sleeves, ankles and also to the double breast pockets, used for storing maps, pistol and personal items. All zippers work flawlessly. Original waist belt is unfortunately absent.
The inside storm flap of the jacket carries the original Japanese factory manufacturing details in stamped ink, which is unfortunately too worn to read.
In addition the trousers feature fur lined pockets to both knees. The reverse of the pants still retain the original cord for the electric plug, however the plug itself has been cut off of the wire. These suits were used primarily by Japanese bomber and fighter pilots during the cold weather months and for high altitude missions.
This great example is offered in overall excellent complete condition, and comes ready for further research and display.
