Superb Royal Flying Corps officer's plastron-front "Maternity" tunic.

​

Probably the finest example of a privately-tailored RFC "Maternity" tunic I have ever handled. While the tunic shows just enough use to say "I was there" the overall condition is quite superb. Though there is no tailor's label, it is a lovely, bespoke jacket that would have cost a pretty penny back in the day. Lined with satin throughout, it retains all its original tortoiseshell buttons and press-stud fastenings, as well as bronze collar "dogs" and bronze RFC buttons to each epaulette, and rank pips for a lieutenant. An excellent, genuine pair of silk embroidered RFC pilot wings are sewn to the left breast. There is a small nick on of the feathers, otherwise these are perfect. There are few signs of wear, but no holes and no sign of any insect damage. It would be very, very difficult to find a better, cleaner example.​

RAF / WAAF officer's service dress shirt (post war).

 

Privately tailored blue uniform shirt of the correct blue/white cross weave and colour worn by RAF officers (and WAAF). Probably 1970s/80s era with full button opening front, attached collar and cotton/polyester mix, single pocket to front and tailor's label "Jonelle". Looks the part for re-enacting or as a filler to display under a uniform at  a fraction of the cost of a wartime example. Excellent condition, collar measures as 14".​

Indian made 1944 dated RAF issue battledress blouse in khaki Aertex cotton fabric (same as the bush jacket).

 

Excellent, unissued example of the tropical battledress blouse made from the same khaki Aertex cotton as the bush shirt / jacket. These were usually worn with shorts and were popular among all branches of the armed forces, including the RAF, replacing the old KD jackets. Nicely stamped inside with typical Indian factory markings and a date of 1944. This is the 6 button front version. Excellent condition and quite scarce.​

RAF issue collarless uniform shirt for Other Ranks with collar.

 

Blue cotton collarless shirt as worn by RAF Other Ranks. Though the standard issue shirt only buttoned half way, full-length opening uniform shirts were definitely available for private purchase and were often worn; that said, this shirt could also be slightly post war, since the collarless shirts remained in inventory until long afterwards. It includes a near perfect matching collar which is wartime A-crown-M marked and fits just right. Serial number inked inside the collar and on the tail. Excellent condition with no damage, only light wear, all original buttons present. â€‹

RAF blue grey wool scarf.

 

Knitted wool scarf which was issued as part of the uniform in colder and temperate climates, but also frequently worn on ops by aircrew for extra warmth under the flying clothing. Double thick layer of wool, sewn at both ends, measures approx. 40" x 7". Excellent condition, barring a few small holes / moth nips which really don't show up too much. One of those great accessories that are never easy to find.

RARE WAAF  working dress (BD) blouse dated 1943 with rank stripes for a corporal.

 

WAAF uniform items are very scarce and difficult to find (the WAAF was, after all, a fraction of the size of the RAF). The working dress (Suits, Working, Serge) or battledress is one of the more difficult items to source. This is an excellent example showing only light wear; there is a tiny blemish/hole to the edge of the fly-front opening and some of the metal buttons have evidently been replaced as they are of two slightly different styles. Apart from that it is in great shape. Corporal's stripes on the right sleeve, as was common on working dress throughout the service. First I have come across in many years.

RAF / RNZAF officer's service dress peaked (visor) cap.

 

Very nice wartime RAF officer's service dress cap, a recent acquisition from New Zealand which, though not attributed, was owned by an officer of the RNZAF.  Shows very little wear and has a lovely shape – turned down at the sides like a "crusher" – complete with beautiful, heavily padded bullion badge and narrow leather chin strap. There a two pinhead sized moth holes on the top of the peak, and a couple of minor wear spots underneath the visor, and a couple of tiny holes on the crown - but none of these seriously detract from what is a lovely cap (and hardly show ion display - see photos). Good size 7-1/8, Roan leather sweatband, diamond shaped tailor's label (now absent). A nice example of a cap that was "there".

RAAF other ranks issue sidecap named and dated 1943.

 

Decent displayable or wearable RAAF airman's sidecap dated 1943 and named on the label to Colman, along with his service number. There is a small repair to a 1-cm hole in the left hand side which is barely visible from a couple of feet away. Cap lacks a badge (no evidence of one ever having been fitted) but retains the two black plastic King's Crown buttons. Looks dusty in the pictures but it's just light reflecting. Apart from the one small repair, the cap is in very good and overall clean condition.

Cold War era RAF Group Captain's peaked cap.

 

RAF Group Captain's service dress peaked cap from the early postwar years (after 1952) having a cap badge with the "Queen's Crown."  Otherwise identical to the WWII types. A beautiful cap and still quite rare since this version of the officer's cap, with a single row of gold bullion "scrambled egg" on the peak, was only worn by Group Captains. Excellent condition with little wear and no damage, the only issue being a couple of small tears to the interior oilcloth lining. Tailored by Herbert Johnson of New Bond Street. Lovely patina to the bullion on the heavily padded badge as well as the peak. Patent leather chin strap and peak with green underside.

Superb and extremely rare Royal Flying Corps maternity tunic for other ranks.

​

Simply stunning example of a Royal Flying Corps maternity tunic of the type worn by other ranks (enlisted). Khaki serge wool tunic with stand up collar and wrap-over plastron front. 100% original and with original embroidered RFC shoulder tabs on black wool field. Flap pockets with buttons, fastens with buttons and hooks-snd-eyes – all present and original to the tunic. Retains 90% of its tailor's label inside the skirt: Made by 

Miller Mfg Co. of Toronto. The same information is stamped inside one sleeve and there are other marks which have been obliterated (possibly laundry marks or owner's name). The condition is absolutely stunning, with the lightest signs of wear, and the slightest suggestion that perhaps "pips" were once added to the shoulder straps (a temporary field promotion maybe?). An unmessed with original that would be very difficult to upgrade. Note: pictured with field service cap and webbing belt NOT included.

RAF mess dress uniform trousers, named and dated 1939.

 

Excellent pair of pre-war RAF mess dress trousers i fine barathea wool, tailored by Gieves for L.H.M. Hely and dated 4/39. Complete with all buttons. There is some minor moth damage; one 1/4-inch nip and a series of 5 or 6 pinhead size holes down the outside of the right leg, spaced about 4 inches apart, that are difficult to see. There is another tiny hole on the outside of the left leg and a couple of holes just below the waistline (would most likely be concealed by the jacket). None of it is very serious and practically invisible from a few feet away. Nice early date with a name to research and of course expertly tailored.

WWII issue Service Dress tunic to a Warrant Officer pilot.

​

WWII issue Service Dress tunic to a Warrant Officer pilot. Officer quality tailoring from fine barathea wool, yet this is an issue uniform rather than privately tailored. While officers were generally expected to provide their own uniforms from private tailors, other ranks and NCOs, being less well paid, were supplied from RAF stores. Since Warrant Officers were senior NCOs who wore officers' uniforms, they were provided with officer quality materials. These were not common and don't turn up on the collector market all that often. Though not named, this Warrant Officer's SD tunic is a beautiful example of an issue "officer grade" uniform, and includes a lovely well-padded pilot wing brevet.

WWII RAF Air Commodore uniform tunic.

 

Uniform items to officers of Air Rank (equivalent of generals) are extremely rare and do not often come up for sale. This is a lovely example of an Air Commodore's tunic, with an interesting modification. The tunic is definitely of WWII pattern, with 4 equally spaced, full-size buttons down the front (the new pattern, introduced in 1947, featured 3 full-size and one flat button, concealed behind the belt). the buttons however, have been replaced—no doubt because an officer of such standing could do so—with anodized (sta-brite) type which were created in 1950 but not actually issued until around 1954 (by which time, all buttons were Queen's crown). Since these sta-brite buttons feature the Kings crown, this Air Commodore clearly wanted to be ahead of the crowd! So, to clarify: a wartime (or pre-1947) tunic with rare first generation anodized KC buttons. No name unfortunately, but it is in great condition and has a lovely set of KC pilot wings, medal ribbons (and loops for wearing a full medal bar). Tailored by Simpsons of Piccadilly.

Only ever seen one of these previously, and for a uniform collector or just as a display item, they are quite brilliant. Well made and sturdy all wood coat or uniform hanger (it has the crossbar for trousers) superbly marked with the A-crown-M and contract number as well as stores reference information. Another one of those rare and unusual accessories.

RAF Warrant Officer Flight Engineer's service dress jacket dated 1945.

 

Nice example of an issue pattern RAF service dress uniform for a warrant officer, tailored in blue barathea wool with a blue/grey satin lining, good 1945 dated label and a nicely worn heavily-padded Flight Engineer's brevet to the left chest. Worn wings always suggest use while on operations, because the parachute harness would tend to rub the silk thread (even if a mae west is worn). Jacket shows use but no excessive wear or damage. The wool has that nice "shiny" look in a few places. Sadly no name but flight engineer uniforms are not too common in my experience.

RAF War Service Dress blouse dated 1945, modified to open lay-flat collar.

​

Quite a rare variation of the standard War Service Dress blouse. Dated 1945, this would have been manufactured and worn with a standing collar that could be fastened up to the neck. Some officers and senior NCOs  would have their tailor modify the neck to an open "lay-flat" collar, which was finally introduced as standard in later, post-war patterns. This is an example of a wartime blouse which has been modified, very nicely (though somewhat roughly on the inside). It has also had some period repairs to the back, which again have been very nicely done so as to be almost invisible. An interesting and scarce modification. All good period insignia including a nice flat Navigator brevet.

WWII dated RAF PT Shorts.

 

A seldom found accessory for an airman's kit. Blue grey cotton shorts used with a white t-shirt for PT every morning. In very good condition. This airman had the good sense to replace the drawstring tie with elastic which retains its stretch. Size 36 waist and well marked with a 1942 date. Very good condition.

British Army officer's sidecap with Royal West Kent Regt. badge.

 

Excellent officer's sidecap with a beautiful slider-back cap badge of the Royal West Kent Regiment. No wear or damage but some staining to the interior. Badge and GS buttons appear to be WWI era and this may have belonged to someone serving in the Home Guard 1940-43.
