Luftwaffe Winter Flight Pants, or so-called 'Kanalhose'. Around the spring of 1941 the Luftwaffe introduced two piece protective flight suits for fighter pilots which were designed to increase the wearer's mobility and not be as restrictive in the close confines of a cockpit although the earlier one piece suits continued to be worn right up until the end of the war. The two piece flight suits consist of separate jacket and pants and was commonly referred to as the "Kanalanzug" (Channel Uniform). The pants are made of Luftwaffe blue-grey cotton and completely fur lined, all "Ri-Ri" and "Zipp" marked zippers are complete and functional, all press-studs are present. The pants are complete with their glass type buttons. The pants are nicely marked with 'RB.Nr.0/0915/0002' and dated 1944. Nice original channel pants in mint and unissued condition, hard to find a better pair!
