Luftwaffe electrically wired 'Channel' flying jacket - Relic

Code: J24563

SOLD

Electrically wired variant of the popular 'Channel' jacket, part of the two-piece 'Channel' flying suit, manufactured in fine blue-grey cotton and lined throughout in a soft purple velvet.  Condition can only be described as 'relic'.  All of the outer fabric of the right arm is missing as is a section from the rear of the left arm.  In addition there are slits, holes and other damage throughout. The waistband is ragged, only one adjuster buckle remains and the label has long since disappeared.  On the positive side the lining is generally very good and all three zips, the main manufactured by 'Rapid', cuffs by 'Zipp', are in working order and with leather puller tabs.  The collar retains the closure strap/rings and some of the wiring and connectors remain in place.  Probably too far gone for restoration but the jacket has very useful spare parts.  Priced accordingly.  Stock code J24563.
