Gents, I'm selling this jacket on Ebay.
The leather is similar thickness to the vintage front three quarters horse Aero currently use.
Rare larger size 44 R.
No stitch holes or claims of provenance but it's similar to the one in the Eastman collection that does.
I have seen identical jackets being worn by 2 East German jet pilots in a group photo taken in the immediate post war years but that doesn't give a date of manufacture as many pilots were previously operational in WWII.
