    ----------
    Luftwaffe 1938- 1940 original leather flight trousers BoB Era
    (Battle of Britain)
    Messerschmitt - Focke Wulf -Junkers Ju 87
    Offering an extremely rare pair of leather flight trousers in exceptionnal condition.
    Langlitz is 70 years old. These breeches 80 years.
    The 80 years old leather is in top condition, is thick soft and solid. No weaknesses.
    Weighing 1.6 kilo. Probably horsehide.
    Leather is as on pictures, no issues,
    nothing optically or technically disturbing. Would benefit and gain in suppleness from use.
    The breeches feature
    two front pockets, one back pocket, 7 belt loops (4 cm) for a LW belt.
    They
    are fully lined green and grey (pockets). The Elite zipper on the left is functionnal, no issues.
    I bought this pair in 2010 with following description.
    Luftwaffe 1938 - 40
    originale
    Lederfliegerhose - Zeit um BoB (Battle of Britain)
    Diese Fliegerhose, die jahrelang in meiner Sammlung war, weicht nun einer Heizbaren, zur optischen Abwechslung. Passt super zur originalen Fliegerjacke der Luftwaffe.
    1A Leder - keine Schwachstellen. Weiches dickes und strapazierfähiges Leder. Emaillierte Nieten. Dicker grauer Wollstoff in den Taschen. Laschen für LW-Hosengürtel exact
    4 cm (Anmerkung:Hosengürtel der Luftwaffe sind extremst rar). Reissverschluss , Marke Elite, funktioniert gut. Bund ca 40 cm einfach gemessen.
    Gesamtlänge 90 cm.
    Diese LW- BoB - Lederfliegerhose ist sehr rar.
    The above description is accurate with the exception of the waist measurement (bund)
    which is actually more
    like 39 cm, / waist circumference measured on the inside approx  77 cm.
    These must fit a w29-w30. (Pictured below on top of a w30 chinos.)

    Leather Luftwaffe pilot breeches are so much rarer than the LW flight jackets.
    These are in a perfectly wearable condition and look great with officer boots.
    I am not a fan of those breeches with flaps for convenience front and or back.
    Imo t
    hese have the ideal cut.
    Shipping worldwide
    In combination with a Hans Joachim Marseille flight jacket,
    (repro from Noble House) and a so called 'fliegerkopfhaube'.
    The breeches are about 2 sizes too large for the model ( Fr36- w27) .
    Trousers are late 1930s. -  Tusk (not included) mid 1950s.
