Own a rare piece of aviation history with this original World War II Imperial Japanese Army electrically heated winter flight jacket.

During the war, pilots endured brutal cold at high altitude inside unheated cockpits. To keep aircrews functional on long missions, the army developed cold-weather flight gear that built early heating technology into heavy winter uniforms. This jacket is a surviving example of that specialized equipment.

Made from 100% woven cotton, this men's jacket is an authentic, pre-owned piece from the era. As a used vintage item, it shows its age but remains in remarkably good condition.
