1950s 1951 Pattern RAF Ventile Parka

Deadstock 1950s 1951 Pattern RAF Ventile Parka.

A rare original 1951 Pattern RAF Ventile Parka in a size 4 which is in deadstock, unworn condition and dates from the 1950s. 

This coat is particularly rare as it is an early manufactured example rather than the 1960s and 1970s coats often found for sale. It features a brass 'Lightning' brand zipper and earlier style label which is made of linen. It is also made from ventile cotton which the later production examples were not.
