Original B3 with brown shearling?

[Xopher]

Howdy folks. I just stumbled upon a photo on pintrest of an original B3 but the collar had brown shearling and the rest was the standard cream color. The flight pants were brown shearling too! Does anybody know anything about these? What's the story. Did the Aircorps make them and we just didn't know about them?

Looks like they took a few jacket ( or other fur available ) to make one...maybe end of conflict, nothing else available prior the B-10 and B-15 contracts...

A bit darker but not as dark as on the first post...but anyway superb photo, thx John.

There were a small number of black-fleece Irvins distributed during the war - limited resources during conflict, nothing serviceable gets turned down.... Stands to reason the same happened with the B3.

John, that's a great photo! I'd really love to have another B-3 with dark fleece, that'd be so gorgeous!

How cool! That would make a heck of a cool new Eastman Mixed batch

Are there any photos of the black fleece Irvins?

An ANJ-4 is way way way warmer than a B6. I have an ELC B6 and it's good down until freezing. A nice ANJ-4 will take you deep into the sub zero range.

Lol figures, I like it so it must be a poor choice.

If memory serves, Andrew - ASWatland - put some up somewhere on the long, original-Irvin thread.

Wow wow wow. That black sheep Irvin is Killer!!! Why does nobody reproduce it? I'd have one today

Most likely lack of availability of the right fleece... Or it's expensive....
