The flight jacket has blue suede exterior with a brown fur collar, white fur inner lining and leather trim.

They are outfitted with zippers to access inner trouser pockets, a pouch for a single-barrel flare gun, pockets for flares, wooden waistband buttons, enamel-covered metal pocket buttons and plastic buttons for suspenders (not included). 5) Heated gloves with dark blue suede exterior construction, leather gauntlets, and cloth inner lining. Both gloves are marked with an anchor and "L K/A/8" logo and "L.B.A.(S)43", and a 2-button electrical connector marked for 8 watts and 24 volts. 6) Winter boots with leather bottoms and felt tops marked size 26 1/2, numbered "1868" with "Z in scroll" maker's marks on the heels.
