 The B-3 is THE classic WWII sheepskin "Bomber" jacket! B-17s and B-24s were not pressurized... and the unheated cabins got awfully cold at altitude! This was the jacket that kept our bomber crews warm during their perilous missions in the skies over Europe. The B-3 jacket is clearly a winner in both warmth and style... even non-aviators like Gen. George Patton chose to wear a specially-modified version of the B-3 (instead of the standard tanker's jacket)! The B-3 features: sheepskin, tanned from thick Nappa Leather, all-natural sheep fur, leather welted seams, brass zipper, and buckled collar and waist-adjustment straps. The B-3 also features two front handwarmer pockets, a practical convenience which the original B-3s lacked (the originals only had a small map pouch). You can rely on this classic heavyweight to keep you warm on the coldest winter day, and you can count on its enduring style to survive the fickle trends of fashion! Color: brown. Made in the USA.
Note: Please allow an additional 4-6 weeks for shipping.

This "museum quality" reproduction is authentically patterned after the russet colored B-3s that were issued in early 1942. It features the single horsehide front "map" pocket (original WWII B-3s did not have front handwarmer pockets like modern B-3 reproductions have), horsehide covered reinforced sleeves, and horsehide shoulder tabs for attaching officer rank insignia. It also features a vintage label, a USAAF insignia on the left sleeve, horsehide belting straps on the waist for the perfect fit, and horsehide belting straps around the authentic snap-down shearling collar. This is a B-3 any collector or WWII buff would be proud to own and wear, with the same look and fit of the 1942 originals! Color: russet brown. Made in the USA.

The jacket is made from vintage brown sheepskin, which is durable, supple and has the look of a "50 mission" veteran. Features include zippered sleeves (allowing the sleeves to be zipped over flyer's gauntlets), welted seams, full front zipper over a wind flap, waist belt, collar strap, and two front handwarmer pockets (an essential modern addition not found on the original jackets).
