Description

You're bidding on a nice, vintage piece of WWII-period militaria - a Japanese one piece winter pilot's flight suit. Condition appears quite good for age and type. Fur collar has a bit of very light wear on the back edge, but overall great presentation. Nice wool - not fur - lining in very good condition. For reference, I'm 5' 11", 165 lbs, and thin build, and I was able to put this suit on fairly easily - although note that I had to hunch a bit to wear it, so it's probably designed for someone closer to 5' 7" or 5' 8". It's very light/faded, but the manufacturing stamps are present inside the suit.
Some other minor issues of condition - some light stitching wear on the left breast pocket. Also note, the plug and cord for the electric heating elements are gone. One of the leg zippers is off track, but appears like it would be easy to fix - I almost had it, but I decided not to force it and risk damage. SEE PHOTOS - SOLD AS IS AS FOUND.
Overall clean and appears complete with all zippers, snaps, straps, etc. Pretty heavy at close to 10 lbs. Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
