Rare WW1 Royal Flying Corps / Royal Air Force Sidcot Flying Suit,the heavy padded canvas flight suite more knowingly worn during WW2 but was brought into service in the late stages of 1917 and early 1918. The khaki suit has buttoned front and the large angled map pocket. Large lower knee pockets and the ankles are buttoned. Fur lined interior of the suit. The suit shows some service wear with some stitching faults and missing buttons, but overall is a good example of a very rare item of WW1 flying clothing. These suits were introduced to replace the brown leather flight jackets which were used in the early part of WW1.
