This authentic B-3 jacket became the military-issued cold-weather flight jacket in 1934, and it is still the warmest and most insulating bomber jacket made. Aviators in WWII bombers came to rely on their B-3 jackets as they often flew their missions over Europe in unpressurized cabins, where air temperatures could drop to more than 60 degrees below zero.
Our B-3 is traditionally made from genuine sheepskin leather with a classic, aged look and deep-pile natural shearling along the body, sleeves, and collar. With double straps under the collar and straps at the waist that cinch to adjust the fit and keep out wind. Traditional leather welted seams and side-entry pockets are authentic details from the original. Made in U.S.A.
Not available for shipment outside of the U.S.
Made in the U.S.A. Weighs 5.0 lbs.
Men’s sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48), XXL (50-52). This jacket fits snugly at first but loosens as the leather breaks in.
Professional leather clean only.

Comments about Sheepskin B-3 Flight Jacket:
This is a great Jacket if you want the warmest Sheepskin Bomber Jacket out there. Very warm, windproof, OK to wear in moderate temps and like it better than other Goose Down jackets I have for winter wear.

Comments about Sheepskin B-3 Flight Jacket:
I am a female, a mom, who bought three of these jackets, one for myself,(you can't get womens jackets like this) and one for each of my two young adult sons. I don't know why someone would say they are not well made, ours are perfect! The zipper is heavy duty, strong. The leather is substantial. The shearling is thick and soft. The details are perfect. The pockets are large and sturdy, I LOVE the buckels on the collar and hips, I can flip up the collar and buckle it around my neck, SO warm! I hate being cold, and when I wear this up north in the winter, where the snow is waist deep, I am always warm and comfortable. We have had these jackets for a couple of years now, and there have been no problems, no complaints.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Sheepskin B-3 Flight Jacket:
This jacket lives up to it's name. Very high quality, very warm and VERY sharp looking. I have to disagree with the other two reviews...this jacket is NOT supposed to be packed, not meant to be stylish, it's meant to be worn. I have wanted one of these since I was a kid, and 50 years later...I have one. Can't say enough good things about it. No wonder the B-17 & B-24 crews liked it so much. It's absolutely COOL.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
