 The B-15 became standard issue to the USAAF after 1943, replacing the venerable A-2. After some initial objections to the change, pilots and aircrews eventually embraced the B-15 and recognized its virtues: it was lighter in weight than a leather jacket (while still being warm) and the fur collar reduced neck chafing while scanning the skies for bogeys. The Cockpit® B-15 is a reproduction of the WWII-issue jacket, but is constructed from flight satin nylon with a synthetic fur collar. Other authentic features include leather oxygen mask retention tabs, headset cord loops, two front slash handwarmer pockets, two inside map pockets, pen-pencil holder on left sleeve, inside wind flap, knit cuffs and waistband, fiberfil insulation, and embroidered "Wing & Star" AAF patch on the left sleeve. Imported.

The B-15 became the standard issue flight jacket of the USAAF in 1944, originally constructed from olive oxford cloth. The B-15 was one of the first synthetic fabric flight jackets, and ours are just like those worn by our USAF F-86 pilots during the Korean War. Made of nylon/satin outer shell with synthetic mouton fur collar. Water-repellent 100% wool knit waistband and cuffs. 4 slash pockets with snap fasteners (2 outside, 2 inside). Zippered combination utility/pen pocket on left sleeve. Authentic details include oxygen mask retention tab and headset cord tabs. Made by Alpha. Please specify color.

Signature Series™
Antique Lambskin A-2
[With Removeable Fur Collar]
|
 |
|
This jacket is made from incredibly soft and supple antique New Zealand lambskin with all the natural graining common to this type of leather. Hand cut and hand sewn, this is an upscale jacket of the highest quality. The antiquing process allows the jacket to age rapidly as you wear it, increasing its battle-worn look over time. Features two front cargo pockets (with side-entry handwarmers), one inside pocket, a detachable mouton collar over a leather collar, stiched down epaulets, rib knit cuffs and waistband, and full cut body and sleeves for a roomy fit. For added versatility, our jacket comes with a warm and comfy zip-in/out pile liner for those changing weather conditions, making this a true 3-season jacket! Note: these jackets are specially made to US Wings specs by a leading manufacturer from the highest quality New Zealand lambskin. Don't be fooled by similar looking jackets of lesser quality. Made in the USA.
Fit: Full Cut (click for info)
Note: our "antique" lambskin comes with a thin protective coating over the surface which will "break-in" rapidly as you wear it, enhancing the leather's antique appearance.
