This pair of trousers exhibits extensive wear, with sun bleaching of the Luftwaffe-blue fabric - likely due to extended hours of sun exposure in the cockpit of a high-altitude aircraft - along with various old rips and tears which have been carefully stitched together throughout. All of these repairs were likely field repairs made during the war (the stitching of the repairs does not glow under black light). The interior of the flare gun holster/pouch on the right leg has the name "MERTH" written in red ink on the underside of the flap. Ain zipper has a broken pull tab and the right pocket has no zipper lead.
A button is missing from the waist straps and the front two waist buttons are made by Ralph Lauren, possibly being replacement buttons. This is an amazing, original pair of very rare flight trousers worn by Luftwaffe air crew during the war. Don't miss your chance to own this scarce set!
