KRIEGSMARINE FOUL WEATHER GEAR
Good set of Kriegsmarine black leather outer garments worn in bad weather by both surface and U-boat sailors. The single-breasted jacket has five (replaced) anchor-and rope Kriegsmarine buttons closing the front, and is fitted with two waist pockets and one chest pocket. Similar buttons (also replaced) retain decorative straps at the end of each sleeve. Within, this jacket is fully lined in black wool which remains in excellent condition. Also present is a pair of matching leather pants which were typically worn above the waist, button fly (a few buttons missing), with strap waist adjustment and buttons for suspenders. The leather of the jacket and pants, though showing signs of obvious use, remains in very good condition with no substantial damage. A fine, honest set of leather foul weather gear. Provenance: TIME-LIFE Collection; The War Museum.
