Luftwaffe Flight Suit Bekleidungsfabrik Habelt, Carlsheim, Württemberg 1941
Luftwaffe flight suit dated 1941, manufactured by Bekleidungsfabrik Habelt, Carlsheim, Württemberg, as confirmed by the original internal label marked Baujahr 1941 and size 1a. The suit is made from cotton fabric in grünmeliert weave, characteristic of the early wartime period and the opening phase of Operation Barbarossa.
The cut is asymmetrical, featuring a diagonal front closure designed for ease of wear in the cockpit and protection from wind. All zippers are present and fully functional, including the main closure, pocket zippers, and side openings, indicating strong preservation.
On the left side there is a dedicated functional section with a lacing system intended for rapid opening of the suit in emergency situations, including injury and the need for quick removal. This feature reflects the well-engineered design typical of Luftwaffe flight equipment.
The suit displays clearly defined technological construction details characteristic of Third Reich manufacturing standards and represents a high-quality example of early war production. It includes zippered thigh pockets, adjustable cuffs, and a practical access system designed for operational use.
Condition is excellent, with light signs of use, retaining full functionality and full structural integrity.
