The actual U.S. military **SHIRT, FLYER'S, HOT WEATHER, FIRE RESISTANT (aka NOMEX shirt)** has just arrived in excellent condition.
This one was made in 1971 (DSA100-71-C-1435 ) and is made of 100% high heat resistant nylon "NOMEX", which was the latest technology at that time. It was adopted from the late Vietnam War, and was especially issued as flame-retardant wear exclusively for helicopter pilots, crew chiefs, on-board maintenance personnel, and other aircraft crew members, and was truly front-line equipment that protected lives.
This Nomex material, which minimizes the spread of flame even in the event of fire or explosion, is the revolutionary prototype of modern fire-resistant military wear. This shirt version is the practical equipment trusted by soldiers on the battlefield, where they are next to the flames.
The construction is simple yet sophisticated, with flap pockets on both chests and a pen pocket on the left sleeve. The cuffs have Velcro tabs and the front is designed to avoid exposing metal parts. The design concept of pursuing ease of movement and safety to the utmost limit has been packed into this item.
The size of this item is "X-Large-Long". This was the maximum standard size issued to soldiers with a chest circumference of 45 inches or more and a height of 71 inches or more, and is extremely rare in the released goods market. In addition, the condition is very good, and you can almost say that it has never been used.
It is a first-class item in terms of both its functionality as a real military item and its value as a collector's item. A fusion of details and materials that are difficult to reproduce today, this is a truly "authentic" piece of clothing for your collection. In fact, it is also a very useful item for people who ride motorcycles. The flame-resistant fabric is surprisingly useful.
Please note that this is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
