Description
Brown leather jacket is typical of the French-made motorcycle jackets favored by Luftwaffe pilots and worn while flying but more often while off duty. The jacket features removable shoulder boards for flight Oberst (Colonel) and a hand embroidered bullion breast eagle. There are two sets of loops on the left chest, one presumably for a pilot badge, and one for a flight bar. The jacket is lined with a brown suede-like fabric (Velveton) with artificial silk lined sleeves. A maker's label is no longer present, and the hanging strap is also worn off. The jacket shows a good amount of wear and use but is still supple.
