    My New Five Star A-1 Jacket

    MASTERS OF THE AIR

    The sheepskin jackets are B-3's. Irvins are great jackets but were RAF kit. This is a great series. Check out Eastman Leather website to see all of the jackets they made for the series. Also Aero Leather Scotland for John Egan's "white" B-3.
