Dark leather suite, could be even USN early WW2 wear. But where did you get this image, look like somebody private property?

the jacket is a D1 US ww2 ground crews mainly...trousers may be the matching pair to the D1 and the boots are ww2 aswell, helmet looks like a b5 or b6 cant see the ear pieces....

Goggles are recent vintage. Looks like motorcycle goggles modeled on the RAF style of WW2. Got a pair my kid plays with that look identical :)
