Very interesting experimental USAAF cloth flying suit

[Roughwear]

The seller is starting the bidding at $13,850 for what he believes is a one off experimental A11/B-15 flying suit made by Metro Sportswear. Has anyone here seen another? Despite the apparent uniqueness of the suit will anybody really pay nearly $14k for it?

Definitely a cool suit. It looks legit to me. Probably a extremely rare piece, but worth nowhere near the start price!

He has a lot of great stuff for sale, but boy is it expensive.

Great stuff, love that reversible M43 / cammo jacket. And he's very effective with a camera, nothing special, but the shots are inviting.

You are right, his presentation is easy on the eyes.

Looks like a B-15/B-10 attached to the cloth flight pants with some modifications. Since I haven't (and probably no one else on the forums) have seen one before, who knows what it's worth. I thought the most interesting other auction he had was for the POW letters with the piece of bread from the war. Talk about "hard tack"!
