Historical Royal Air Force

RAF officer uniform tunic,

I couldn’t locate any makers markings or tags

Typical of custom made garments

(remember officers had to purchase all their uniforms and gear )

These were generally custom Taylor made ,

( unlike like the mass produced Government issued enlisted mens uniforms )

The RAF tunic ,

one of the most formal and distinctive parts of the whole uniform.

well-tailored cut and high-quality material

these coats clearly defined the rank of its owner within RAF command.

With the distinct brass buttons,

it wasn't long before these blue color became the respected face of the war time RAF !

DONT PASS IT UP !

you just don’t see these every day

Likely owned by a heroic spitfire, hurricane or Lancaster Bomber pilot !
