About 20 years ago Wilson Leather in Texas had a sale on their “Bomber Jackets” I bought all 3 for $50 USD each, no tax ( they do that for clothing when school starts each year). They all look identical to yours although brown with off white fur. Great work jackets, cheaper than a Jean jacket...
This jacket is brand new. I bought it on the bay 2 weeks ago, new with tag and ELC bag. I had it on to feel how great it is. Fur is deep and plush, leather is fantastic. Hard times force the sale. Never been outside. I'm asking $1,400 plus shipping. $1800 at HPA pus wait.

This is my personal A-2, an Aero Leather contract 42-15142-P, Real Deal. Its a size 44, sleeves are 23 1/2", back is 25 1/2" long and 20 1/4" across and has several autographs on the liner, including Doolittle Raider Dick Cole (says:RE Cole #3). The others were various WWII and Korea era flyers...
I'm having to part with my first B-3 Jacket, I cant remember but I'd say its 7 years old. Its an Eastman, sheepskin is soft and supple, light wear at the wrists. Slight coloration at the neckline. A few scratches at the elbows, otherwise in great shape. I live in Phoenix, AZ so it never got much...
Yes, having baggy clothing in the cockpit would be bad!
I’ve decided it will join the permanent stable and I have begun breaking it in, even just today the back and sleeve openings have given way and it feels like a comfortable sport coat which is what I was after. My Perry Mixed hides is my...
My new Aero Bronco A-2 in Vicenza Seal with Caramel knits. It’s a size 42 and feels a little tight, maybe because it’s new HH? My old A-2 is an Aero 42-15142-P in 44 and is definitely too big. What’s the opinion?
Price-wise you can’t beat Aero, Eastman is right there too. Quality wise, Eastman looks slightly more authentic In the details but the average person would never know. RMC in my opinion, looks the best all around. The lower priced others, and I have a 20+ year old San Diego leather factory which...
My New ELC Perry mixed hides showed up Friday, Same finish. I’ve got an older ELC House B-3 without the time worn, I think I like the time worn better. I’ve made a B-2 hat a few years ago (while my ELC B-2 was being shipped) I Dyed it with dark brown then sprayed It with acrylic clear to...
Good call on the 42, I bought a 44, 3 years later, I bought a 42, I’m hoping it fits a little tighter, the 44 bunched up around my chest, which is a 42. A-2’s aren’t forgiving if too big! Looks great. I’ll post mine when it shows up on the big brown truck Monday. My Perry mixes hide B-2 should...
It is a very nice jacket but I agree with Meachamlake. My first "B3" i ordered from San Diego Leather factory in about 98. I paid a mint for it and although the sheepskin is very soft and subtle, it shares virtually Zero resemblance to a repro B3 I could have had for $150 more.
