Description

Very attractive and extremely well-preserved Luftwaffe summer flight suit in the classic brown and white striped lightweight fabric, one of the most recognisable patterns used for warm-weather flying clothing. The suit is in outstanding condition, showing virtually no signs of wear and presenting almost in mint state. There are no holes, no damage, and no repairs, the fabric remains fresh and crisp, strongly suggesting little to no actual use.All zippers are fully functional and marked « Elite » and « Rapid », both well-known period manufacturers. The press studs are complete, working perfectly, and marked « PRYM », as commonly seen on Luftwaffe flight and airfield garments. All hooks, buttons, and fittings are present, including the original leather straps under the collar, which are often missing on worn examples. Inside, besides the well-known « Karl Heissler, Berlin » label (attached to the internal hanging chain). The size is not particularly large, but as typical for these flight suits they were cut generously and display perfectly on a mannequin. A superb example of a highly sought-after Luftwaffe summer flying suit, complete, untouched, and increasingly difficult to find in this exceptional condition.
