[~ 70's] West German Air Force Pilot Leather Jacket

Payed in 1970, the former West German Air Force "Pilot Leather Jacket".

This pilot jacket, which has been adopted by the former West German Air Army since the 1950s and is now becoming a staple of Euromi Returies items.

In the Nazi -German era, he was the most active in Luftwaffe, the top high -pilot.Erich Alfred Hartmann also wore this jacket.

A gem with an excellent asymmetric design with a unique gray color peculiar to the German army.
The details such as the vertical zip pocket attached to only the left chest and the cigar pocket attached to the left sleeve are characteristic.

The front zip slider uses a "YKK" zip, the vertical zip pocket zip slider uses a 42 -engraved "Talon" zip, and the zip slider in the cigar pocket part is the "RIRI" zip. Is adopted.

In later years, most of them are individuals that adopt "YKK" zip, so it is a detailed detail, but it is a nice point for those who are concerned.
I think such details will be one of the reasons for choosing our individuals.

In order to prevent heat retention and wind invasion, the collar, sleeves, and hem are designed for rib specifications, so it is certain that it is a versatile wear not only for design but also has excellent functionality.

It seems that the orange color lining that shines in the gray color of the front leather was applied to make it easier to find in the event of a distress, but now it is excellent in design.

"GOAT SKIN" is luxuriously used for the fabric.

Goatoskin (goat leather) is a leather made by adult goats.
Despite the strength that exceeds cowhide, the leather thickness is less than half and is a very lightweight leather, high fiber density and sturdy.
Despite its toughness, the leather itself is soft and has excellent elasticity.

I think many people have the impression that the leather is hard and hard to wear, but since it is originally leather and it is softer over time, even those who are not good can wear it without any problems.

You can also check the tag attached to the left chest zip pocket, which is also a proof of the government.
The notation "12/70" can be confirmed in the tag, so it seems to be the individual paid in December 1970.

While many individuals from the 1980s are onward, old individuals like this individual may not be seen.
In terms of market, it seems that one of the few individuals before the 1980s is one.

The size notation cannot be confirmed, but I think it corresponds to "L ~ XL" in Japanese size.

Even if you look at the actual size, it will be a large size, so I think that even a large body can wear it without any problems.
It looks like a military item, and it looks good to put it on with a large size.

Although there is a feeling of use such as fading, dirt, rubbing, fraying, etc., there is no major damage to wear, so I think you can still wear it.

"WEST GERMAN AIR FORCE PILOT LEATHER JACKET" which can be said to be the standard item of Euromi Return
It is a gem that can be recommended for everyone because it is known not only for vintage lovers but also for rebuilding the artisanal line of Margiela.

I think it is a worthwhile one as a wardrobe but also a collection item design source.
I think that old -fashioned individuals are rare, so if you are looking for it, don't miss this opportunity.
