What are the rarest jackets?

[Anorak]

Of the first pattern 1912 RFC coat? Yup, and examples exist.

Or the Coats, Waterproof, Pilots item? As I mentioned only a couple of photos are thought to exist. I've got at least one which I'll dig out and post.

Both would be awesome!

Any jacket which belonged to these dudes would be super rare, especially this gem jacket which belonged to dude in the middle - especially with hand signed tag inside pocket

Here's another extrem rare jacket. I know it's no official issued Luftwaffen gear, rather private purchase but I've been looking for a leather jacket like Werner Mölders has worn (Photos) since quite a while with no success.

If you have more detailed photos available, I’d bet you could find someone who could make you an accurate repro of this jacket .

Personally, I'm not sure I'd want to posses a uniform garment worn by Josef Mengele, same applies to the other two.

Yeah … that wouldn’t be something that I’d be interested in owning either.

There’s are pics around and shown here in the past of Molders wearing an A2!

Right now I only remember Heinz Bär wearing an A2, but it was not uncommon for LW pilots to wear captured jackets. Mr Galland looked pretty good in 'his' Irvin...

Sorry, but Werner Mölders died on 22nd of Nov. 1941 hence prior any USAAF involvement over ETO.
Several others sure had A-2’s but not WM

I wasn't there for the action, but last year, about a week before halloween, a fella in an ss uniform marched into my local [fanelli's] and was booed, hissed, and the gal behind the bar threw him out, telling him not to return.

Understandable reactions

He was probably on his way to Hugo BOSS on Broadway to get his SS uniform retouched....

Sounds like something Dave Chappell would do.
