Today we have an example of the Winter Flying Suit-Jacket, universally called “WEP” jacket from the letters on the original label (label missing on this jacket), but those actually refer to the Bureau of Weapons, which led the original contract.

Being available since the late 50s, it still attracts aviators till present times, although it is no longer issued by the government, some companies like Cockpit and Avirex offer reproductions, and pilots still buy and wear them.

The jacket here has DOT on the buttons but the patch in the back is now missing. Despite that, it’s in decent used condition. All parts are original to the jacket and it looks like it was regularly worn. The lining and tab connectors are good condition. The \'General\' Zipper works perfectly, and it shows no signs of use.

As a side note, fitting could be complicated on this jacket as the original design tends to be a bit short on the waist regardless the size, also it is quite rare to find this jacket in functional condition.
