This post-war Luftwaffe officer tunic is an unissued blue military service dress jacket.
Cold War Service History
Issued to post-war German Air Force officers during the early Cold War era, this jacket reflects traditional West German service dress uniforms. Designed in signature Luftwaffenblau (air force blue), it features classic gold collar piping and shoulder board trim. The overall cut closely matches wartime service tunics, making it a reliable foundation for historical conversions.
Tailored Design & Hardware
Built in unissued Supergrade condition, this tunic features a four-pocket front layout. The two chest pockets have pleated panels and scalloped flaps, secured with silver pebbled metal buttons. An open notch-lapel collar fits neatly over service shirts and ties, while the smooth inner lining allows comfortable layer movement across full wear.
Practical Uses Today
This original surplus tunic serves as a smart tunic for Cold War living history displays and military collectors. Its clean lines and durable fabric also make it suitable for vintage fashion wear or theater costume design. The pre-installed collar patches provide clear rank details without needing added modification.
Complete your Cold War military display with this unissued German air force officer tunic.
This item was used by the German Airforce during the Early Cold War (1947–1960) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
