Description

The B-3 is THE classic WWII sheepskin "Bomber" leather 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!

Nice Jackets

Hi everyone, I purchased a B3 and the Easyrider with Gails assistance. I have been wearing the B3 in the cold weather (around zero with the wind lately) and I can tell you that I have never had a warmer jacket! I didnt feel cold (except my head and legs) at all! I highly recommend the B3 to all if you are looking for a quality WARM jacket.

The easyrider is great as well! Love it! These are the nicest jackets I have ever owned.

B-3 Bomber Jacket

I was a little concerned over sizing for this jacket, and contacted customer service. They provided a quick and complete reponse enabling me to order the correct size. The jacket arrived a few days later, and the quality and construction surpassed my expectations! I have gotten compliments on this jacket from complete strangers. It is quite warm (we have had a very cold winter with temperatures near zero) and with this jacket on, you might as well be sitting indoors- absolutely windproof and extremely warm (haven't tried it in an unpressurized B-17 yet). Couldn't be happier.

I'm sure it will last as well as my Schott Bros. western-style fringe jacket purchsed in 1974, which still looks brand-new. Many thanks for such great products.

Best jacket on the market

I took the plunge, spent the bucks and bought this jacket. Smartest move I've made in a long time. Superb quality, pure Americana and the warmest coat I've ever worn, including down and synthetics. If you're looking for the real, no-b.s. thing, look no further. You're there.
