This reproduction of the U.S. Army Air Forces Type B-3 Flight Jacket replicates the iconic high-altitude bomber jacket issued from 1934 through World War II. Constructed from heavy sheepskin shearling, the B-3 was engineered for warmth and durability in unpressurized, sub-zero bomber aircraft such as the B-17 and B-24.
The jacket features a dark seal-brown leather finish, natural shearling interior, and sturdy Talon front zipper with leather wind flap. Distinctive details include adjustable throat straps, waist adjustment belts, and panel-reinforced seams for extra strength. Designed to keep airmen warm at altitudes exceeding 25,000 feet, the B-3 remains one of the most recognizable and enduring symbols of WWII American aviation gear.
