  • Original Item: Only One Available. This is a well-preserved, vintage flight suit from the World War II era, designed for the US Navy and made from premium-grade goatskin. The suit is a size 40 and features electric heating with Colvinex metal core yarn, a state-of-the-art technology at that time. The suit is equipped with a sturdy zip front, zip fly, and zippers running the length of the legs, making it easy to put on and take off.

    The suit's heavyweight, brown leather material gives it a rugged and durable appearance, and the brown fur collar adds a touch of elegance to its overall design. The suit has numerous “Talon” zippers, but there are a couple spots where they are missing. The suit's belted front enhances its fit and comfort, and the woven COLVINEX data tag within the neck adds a touch of authenticity. It reads:

    The suit has heavy wear overall with some minor tearing on the interior lining. The two lowest pockets are missing their buttons, but overall it’s in good condition.

    The suit comes with a USN marked leather flight helmet with retained headphones and avionics, as well as a T-30 microphone. The leather helmet is size Medium, made by Slote & Klein. The smaller Type A-9 summer flight helmet is Size Large, and has attached flight goggles.

    This is a nice worn example of a flight suit & helmet set, ready for further research and display.
