Original era manufacture. Greenish-tan poplin flight suit, tagged Suit, Summer, Flying An 6550 M.40, Order No. (1942) 43-801, E.B. Myers Company.The fabric is sound, no dry rot, free of major stains, but having for some reason, several repairable tears on the backside, likely an occupational hazzard on while sitting on the metal seats in a WWII aircraft. Two more repairable tears can be seen on the cuff of the right leg, and another on the cuff of the left leg. Clean otherwise, no fraying to the end of the cuffs or collar.
