USAAF Buzz Rickson's B-15B Flight Jacket

New jacket from Buzz Rickson's brand which has reproduced the B-15 Flight Jacket in exacting detail, based on those once produced for the AAF by the Rough Wear Clothing Co., and Buzz Rickson's heavy, cotton twill fabric is never to be confused with the cheap, flimsy fabrics used by lesser manufacturers to produce so-called vintage reproduction USAAF flying jackets. In fact, the only other flying jackets in the world today made from this fabric are those original vintage examples of the USAAF!  

This B-15 Flying Jacket correctly captures all the nuances found on original vintage B-15 Flight Jackets made by the Rough Wear Clothing Co., making this product virtually indistinguishable from an original vintage example of the USAAF. Take note of these authentic features:

Copy of original makers label design produced on a vintage shuttle loom

Custom manufacturing of the correct weight and weave Olive Drab cotton twill outer shell to precisely match original specs.

Correct USAAF-spec. inner lining of warm, double-faced alpaca-and-wool blend. We cannot say too much about the use of the original, double-faced alpaca, which is what provides the warmth associated with the vintage jackets and requires vintage machinery found in Japan; at best, single-faced alpaca is present on cheaper look-alike costume-grade jackets and Buzz Rickson's does not make costumes.

Gorgeous, plush, genuine mouton-fur collar with fur-padded button tab closure dyed to rich, deep-toned cognac brown

Two snap-down exterior pockets lined with warm off-white shade corduroy precisely matching 1944 USAAF specs.

Two snap-down interior pockets lined with heavy all-cotton drill fabric precisely matching 1944 USAAF specs.

Custom manufacturing of the correct, all-wool knit cuffs and waist skirt in Olive Drab
