SCHOTT NYC, B - 3 Classic, Classic B - 3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket Size 44
Item History & Price
SCHOTT NYC, B-3 classic, Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket Size 44. Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Great Jacket, that I wore while working out of the Dakotas. I no longer live in a climate where I can use this jacket. Rarely warn due to its warmth..
The B-3 is the classic WWII sheepskin leather "Bomber" 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 b...omber crews warm during their perilous missions in the skies over Europe. The B-3 features: shearling, 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).
The B-3 bomber 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). You too can rely on this classic heavyweight shearling to keep you warm on the coldest winter day, and you can count on its enduring style to survive the fickle trends of fashion!
