Grandpas original B-2 Flight Jacket

[Metatron]

I always thought that the B2 shared some sort of common lineage with these German ones:

Throat tab, windflap and zipped sleeves.

Yes, those are similar to the Irvin jackets, too.

Patience fellas...I have a bit of a life goin' on!

Wow! That is gorgeous. It is amazing to see a survivor as rare as a B-2. Can you tell us what the lining is made of? I know Lost Worlds does their B-2 in Alpaca wool. One can only wonder if that is what Alpaca looks like after 60 ++ years. Makes me want to consider a Lost Worlds B-2 for the future now.

Note the lining here

I still am not sure of what the lining or collar material is. The collar may be Alpaca wool, glad the moths never found it!
