So I’m new to the forum but a long time fan of all things vintage. Started with WWII era and have expanded from there.
Anyway, I wanted to get some knowledge of:
1) A good B-15 available in a larger size…XXL or 48, and
2) Was looking for thoughts or pics of mods to these jackets. I know I’ve seen some of the dark blue jackets with Sage knits, and that some had the collars changed. Looking for mods like stenciling, reinforcements, pockets added, etc.
Thanks in advance. If there are better/other sources for info, I’m all ears!
Rick

Welcome to the forum. The B-15 is one of my favorite jackets. However, I would only add perhaps only one patch? There is a company who makes a lower price nice repro that might have the size you're looking into. Remember that the jacket is heavily lined, so this must be taken into consideration with deciding the pit to pit sweet spot.
I am in the hunt my self for a 42 or 44 size Japanese repro. New or and excellent shape. There are no American company that is reliable to me to acquire one from.
