Flying open cockpit aircraft in any weather requires warm clothing. We are proud to be making in the US, brand new Sidcot Flying suits just like the originals worn by thousands of pilots. Our suits are patterned using original, pre WW II British suits and are made of 100% cotton twill with locking nickel zips and authentic military buttons. They have the stylish map pocket located on the left side of the chest and two hand warming pockets on the thighs, found on the originals. The waist has two side zippered openings for accessing your pants pockets. The fly area has the authentic buttoned opening. We have even recreated the original brass belt buckles. Both the wrists and ankles have locking zips for easy entry and exist with your boots and gloves on. The suit comes in a light cream color and the 100% natural lambs wool collar is optional.
