The uniform is that of the French Air Force. This particular one was made in the late 1930's by a Parisian tailor. Quite a nice example due to the fact that its the Officers pattern/cut but for a senior NCO (who often took a slight flare and used Officers designs). The metal insignia is however from a Paris Jewllers.
Due to the size of the French Air Force, and the occupation of France from 1940-44, its quite possibly the rarest piece in my collection, and my personal favourite.
I do however need to have the waist tailored slightly, to give a more tailored/pinched waist/taper to the tunic
Please excuse the slightly manic grin

Pip, you never stop to amaze us all. Just how many uniforms do you have in that closet of yours?
BtW. I have allways found the french airforce uniform very stylish too - almost nowadays civilian airline like.
You wear it well, mate!
