USAAF WW2 B-15 Flight Jacket - Rare size 44

A WW2 classic, the B-15 was standardised as a pattern on April 7 1944. Designed to replace the popular B-10, this jacket would make some significant improvements including double layered alpaca to improve warmth, slash pockets to make them easier to access in a harness, and a redesigned elbow to improve flexibility. They actually weren't around long before being updated into the B-15A in November 1944. The example was made in 1944 by Reed Products/

 Condition

This is in used but good conditio. The fur is still thick a pliable and the body in largely good shape. There are repairs to the cuffs and waist. The zipper has been replaced with a correct NOS conmar. A nice wearable example.
