Vintage 40’s WWII US Navy Flying Trousers

Vintage 40’s WWII US Navy flying trousers

These heavy duty pants were issued by the US Navy to their plane pilots during the second world war.
Made out of sheepskin they were designed to withstand the freezing tempratures of high altitudes!
These pants have been customized with several fastening straps that are not featured in the original design.

This piece would be the perfect addition to any WWII or aviation collection!

After 80 years the trousers remain in worn condition and show signs of wear. Due to use and time they acquired a nice patina that adds to their rugged character!
Sadly the Talon zipper partially torn off of the left leg.
A small leather patch repair has been done to the right leg.

Measurements:
Length legs: 98 cm
