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, the pants are complete with their original buttons. The pants are nicely marked with 'RB.Nr.0/0915/0002' and dated 1944. These pants were left behind on the Dutch Island 'Texel' and unfortunately private people removed all zippers after the war. The zippers have been replaced by a tailor with post-war zippers, see photos. Otherwise the pants are in mint and unissued condition. Due to the replaced zippers the pants are priced at half what a similar pair with original zipps would cost today!
