WPG's reproduction faithfully copies the 100% wool exactly, as well as all the details of an unissued original. That means the pockets are open topped (pocket zippers were user modifications). Also copies the gap at the bottom of the zipper that originals had (guess what it's for).
What material is the flight suit made from?
The flight suit is constructed from 100% wool gabardine. This material choice made it suitable for year-round wear in the ETO, despite being classified as a summer flight suit. The reproduction faithfully copies the original wool. The colour, weight, and pattern of the fabric are indistinguishable from original examples.
Are there any differences between this reproduction and an original A-4 flight suit?
This reproduction is an exact copy of the AAF flight suit, faithfully replicating the 100% wool and details of an unissued original. Minor deviations include the size label patch not matching the authentic type label, and the zipper pull differing from some originals. Some original A-4s had user-modified zippers on chest and leg pockets, which are not present on this reproduction. The collar cut may also vary from some original manufacturers' patterns.
Does the flight suit include any user modifications seen on original garments?
The reproduction faithfully copies an unissued original, meaning the pockets are open-topped. Original flight suits often had user-modified pocket zippers, which are not included on this reproduction. Similarly, any added zippers on chest and leg pockets, sometimes seen on originals, are not present. The design focuses on the unissued state of the garment.
