leather (reichsverteidigungs) jacke

[peter bos]

Hello All,

I am familiar with the leather so called Reichsverteidigungsjacke for luftwaffe pilot. You see them in grey and in brown colour, mostly with the velvet collar. These jackets are electrically heated with wiring in the waist and in the bottom end of each sleeve.

My question is: are these leather jackets always manufactured with the electric heating wiring or were these also produced in a non-electrical heated version ( i do not mean the privately made jackets, only the regular made jackets )

thanks

peter

Hi!

They was manufactered also in not-wiring version.

(..) You see them in grey and in brown colour, mostly with the velvet collar.

Does exist in a very dark grey color also. Close to black.

Hi Peter i think Harry had one if you look back on old posts you might find it.
