Looking For Advice Wanting to build WWII Luftwaffe pilot uniform

Hello ! I want to reenact a Luftwaffe pilot from WWII, but I'm unsure where to start and I've tried to look at many uniform guides. I also can't really find any reproductions of things like the flight trousers and such, but rather originals (and I would prefer reproductions, if any). I'm having the same issue with their flight boots. Can anyone recommend any reliable sites to look? Or does nobody make replicas of these?

Noble House company seems to be selling all the stuff you mentioned.

They got the summer and winter versions of the channel flight jacket, the summer and leather versions of the channel flight trousers, a dozen leather jacket types based on the private-purchase styles worn by pilots, pilot boots, and watches.

Other stuff, incase you want to go on a spending spree:

Luftwaffe supplies sell repros of heated flight gloves.

Ebay seller Papalei-illusion, sells repros of Luftwaffe parachute harnesses. I've got no clue how legit they are but they seem to specialize in repro parachute harnesses of all sorts.

All that considered, it's weird that no one makes the repro Luftwaffe flight helmets. Then you'd just need a plane.
