Luftwaffe EM's Flight Blouse

Description

Luftwaffe EM's Flight Blouse (Fliegerbluse). The Luftwaffe flight blouse was originally introduced in early 1935 and was based on the Fliegerbluse worn earlier by the DLV (Deutscher Luftsport Verband). The flight blouse remained in service through-out the war with minor modifications. The blue/grey wool construction flight blouse features a vertical French fly style, front closure with four plastic-type buttons on the right front panel and the corresponding, hidden button holes on the left front panel. The blouse has a single metal hook and eye at the neck for a secure closure. A machine embroidered Luftwaffe eagle is original factory applied (machine-sewn) to the flight blouse. The flight blouse is in unissued condition and never had collar tabs applied. Shoulder-board loops and buttons are present. The interior of the flight blouse is partially lined in light grey cotton. The flight blouse is maker marked by a company called 'Lange', there are size markings (chest size 90 cms) and the flight blouse is dated March 1940 (L.B.A.3 40). There are only some minor traces of years of storage. It is almost impossible to find a pre May 1940 dated Flight Blouse in unissued condition. Rare original example in very good, mint and unissued, condition!
