Pants and Boots

[coloradocowboy]

Can someone tell me if these are Luftwaffe WWII?

The boots are but can you provide better pics of the pants? They look to have been modified with flare holders but pics of zippers, labels, etc. would be great

Are they gray or light brown? Is that a removed pocket? They look like modified Reichverteidigung (Defense of the Reich) pants

Yes,

We can even see one removed pocket here.

Hello, a very nice set pictured there. They are the later issue in gray with mixed composition zipps. The front pocket front covers have been removed, who knows why. Doing this, exposes the already present leather vertical slots. The removal looks expertly done as all of the horizontal leather slots above the vertical ones are removed. If you are fortunate they are dated 1945. If one removed section is pictured maybe there is another. I have seen a pic or two showing leather flight pants with the pockets removed but I think the leather slots we’re removed also That’s a very nice set of flight boots. Best, Bill Bourque

Good stuff, but why on earth were these pockets removed ??
Luckily they're still there and with a bit of patience it all can be restored.
Finding a good tailor who really cares might be hard to find though ..

Thanks Jos. Yes, Im sure can be restored. Im surprised how supple the leather still is. Very good condition.
