And this thing is stitched under one of the shoulder boards.
I hope '34 is the year he enlisted and not his date of birth.
I also found the trousers to go with this jacket.

It is the date of birth.
This is a post ww2 uniform jacket.

I agree!
1934 is the "class", the year of birth. Considering the fact that the young italians were called for military service at the age of 18-20, we can date these jacket back to the early '50s.

....Amazing how little information there's on the net about this Italian postwar clothing.
...

This gap was recently filled by a 3-volume work on the Italian Air Fiorce by A. Viotti published by the History Branch of the Italian Air Force HQ. Check

The Net is not the only source of info. Althou very practical , sometimes it may be frustrating as you've experienced.

To be more precise, the jacket is a 1947 pattern and it was donned with the winter order of dress until 1959 by officvers and EM/NCOs of the Italin Air Force. It obviously took inspiration from both the British BD and the Sahariana bush jacket. It's similar to the 1944 pattern introduced in WW2 for the ICBAF, this one being recognizable by a stand-and-fall collar.
