'Jet jacket '

[John Lever]

Does anyone know who is making or has made a repro of this German WW2 jacket ?
One was for sale recently in a shop here in the UK but it is now sold. I understand that a small batch of high quality jackets were made in Germany at one time.

Don't know if this is one, for sale at www.tigercollectibles.co.uk.. described as so:
"M4548 - LUFTWAFFE JET PILOTS LEATHER JACKET. £345.00
Excellent brand new replica of the leather jacket issued to WW11 luftwaffe jet pilots, copied from an original, in brown hide leather, with fur collar, hidden button front & zip cuffs, also internal tis cord around the waist to pull in side & back panels (early form of G suit) lined in fake silk, it also has external map pocket to left chest and leather loops to attach oxygen tube crocodile clip, a very stylish jacket, they were issued late war, 1944-45 for use in aircraft such as the Me262 and would be part of a two piece suit "
His website is frustratingly hard to use as he has the photos separate to the listing and not all items have pics, but he does reply to e-mails so could provide a pic.

Sorry John, didn't realise that!

If it's a one off copy of an original, or from a small batch, chances of finding one in your size must be remote.

Maybe you could add it to your list of orders at Aero.
