Sidcot Flying Suits
BSA, LLC is proud to produce new Sidcot suits like the originals worn by thousands of pilots in the 1920’s- 40’s. Our suits are sewn in the US and patterned using original, pre WW II British suits. They are made of 10 oz., 100% cotton twill with commercial grade, nickel zippers 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 access to 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 zippers 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.
Authentic Air Ministry sizing Label and Crown Stamp have carefully been reproduced for each suit as well as the brass belt buckles.
