The removable fur collar!

Hallo!

Is the same old story... This kind of garment, easily 'dress' to luftwaffe pilot jacket is popped out from the market from lots of time. You can imagine how would be easy put some nazi regalia on a leather jacket and sell it as fighter pilot stuff. By my side is the case of the jacket in this thread... The way the leather 'moves', the removable collar, some zips send to me bad vibration. Remember also that the zips you describes as 'first pattern' was used also for civilian garment lots of time after the war, also produced (and labeled) by some wartime manufacture (as StriWa - Striegel & Wagner, prominent WWII flight dress) converted in civilian tailors.

Cheers!

Hello, its possible but most unlikely. For me its too broad/wide at the waist to qualify for a snug pilot's fit. The collar might even be synthetic or possibly USN G-3 collar. Best, Bill
