Nice Jacket, Im very fond of these, and the matching pants.

They make a great Winter Luft display!

Original, first pattern, early production( circa 1942-1943) quilted jacket. Although the most of these were distributed to Luftwaffe troops, mostly Felddivision and Fallschirmjäger, these were also distributed to and used by the regular Heer.

This one was produced by Neckermann, a well- know producer of these and other winter garments.

Thanks John, The parka is non reversible, the pants are reversible, just likeyour jacket. The tone/hue/color of the pants is quite simlar to your jacket, I've since picked up a mint reversilbe quilted jacket in the exact color of the pants, I assume they were made out of the the same fabric. Its also interesting on the pic of my set if you look at the material of the jacket, and then the pocket flap of the pants, you will see they use the same material, just used as scrap material on the pants pocket flaps, they match up dead on in person with the material used in the parka, the wind flap and the cuff of the jacket sleeve I believe. I really like these quilt6 Parkas/pants, I have yet to find tthe blue/white rectangular Luft quilted parkas/pants, but hopefully one day. Peterson featured a set in the Time life book series back in the late 80's. I've seen a few, but not in the condition I collect.
