WW2 RAF 30 PATTERN SIDCOT "TEDDYBEAR" LINER - 1938 DATED

WW2 RAF 30 PATTERN SIDCOT "TEDDYBEAR" LINER. A very nice sidcot liner for the early 30 pattern sidcot flying suit. Often referred to as the "TEDDYBEAR" suit as they are made from a brown fur like material, and once worn on its own does make the wearer look like a Teddybear! A lovely warm suit, often seen worn in period photos by themselves without the sidcot suit. Strictly this was the liner for that suit, but it proved popular as an oversuit itself. I am unsure whether it was supposed to be worn with the fur facing inwards or outwards however? Now a very rare suit to find and always sort after by collectors who need one to complete their 30-pattern Sidcot suit.

The condition of the suit it must be said is excellent. It has survived very well, the suit is in very good condition, with no holes or areas of fur loss to report. Still retains a good strong brown colour and is very soft and furry! Inside the suit, there is again no damage or issues to report. The suit with the original label still in place, marked as a size 4, with size details below. Also dated 1938 at the bottom. The suit also A.M. crown ink stamped on the inside, also with A.I.D stamp to one of the pocket openings. A faint name is also inscribed inside the suit, unfortunately not immediately decipherable.  

Overall a lovely example of these rare and desirable suits, ideal for any RAF collection, display or museum.
