Hello, I saw this pic on GHW and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. It looks like an elect heated leather flight jacket on the left. Curious. Best, Bill

Looks a nice late war heated jacket! I would seen the lining much better, because looks like with a different cloth instead to the classical brown hbt, always assimilated to the jackets of this type...
Cheers!
The leather of the jacket was also a little heavier than I normally see on these gray versions and had a pronounced green tint......different again from any of these that I have seen.......I could feel no electrical wires or plugs...but the tabs were there to cover them.
I assumed that this one was made by a different maker than the others that I have seen and that is why it had the above variations.

Hi, Phild!
Originally posted by phild View PostYes, this one did have a blue/gray rayon (or so it appeared, I did not do a burn test!) lining.....and not the brown/tan hbt. The collar facing was also a different color than the purple that I am used to seeing and both the lining and the collar facing seemed to have been on the jacket forever.....but I was not in a lab environment to really check it out.

I heard from a friend that these will be reproduced accurately within the next few months. Test samples are apparently already being modified. How accurate, I have no idea. My friend has seen them and says they are very good. He won't tell me who is making them. Once I find out any more info, I will add it. I'm hoping he'll send me some pictures soon.
I for one hope they aren't convincing.
