German flying suit and boots
Can anyone give me any feedback on this outfit? It is supposed to be a German combination flying suit with boots from the Great War. I have seen flying boots with these soft soles before in pictures, but these soles look to be in very good shape. The pants look right to me, but the jacket looks like it could have been just about anything. Anyone familiar with these types of items? The owner says there are dates in them from 1916, but if they are there, they are totally illegible to me.

Matt, like you, I can't say much on the boots and coat, but as for the pants, check out my drawing of Joseph Mai in the gallery. I used a fairly well known photo as my reference. He apparently was wearing the same type pants for that photo.
