Guess approx 8 Pounds.
Does not matter, its a pleasure to carry this kind of weight.

Nice jacket.
I have an old one, wearing it now to save on heating haha, yes really wearing it as I type. Any more pics? This looks darker than mine which is around 15 years old.

 

[Cooper A-2]

I gave it a water treatment.
Will post more pics as soon as its dry. "Now its very very dark and heavy!"

 

[Insomnia]

Wow! Very nice jacket.

 

[Cooper A-2]

Here a few pics.
Its not 100% dry hence the " shades and contrasts"

That's just awesome!

I might be a bit worried about that wobbly zip. I had an original Cable A-2 the zip of which had been fitted with a zip that was too short. Whoever had sewn it in had obviously run out of the right length, so they s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d it to fit. Unfortunately, the zip had contracted back to its original length, leaving it rippled and distorted the front of the jacket. Hope yours doesn't suffer the same fate the other way around: shrinking body and an unshrunken zip.

Thx, no problem, not my first water bathing of jackets.

Redskin flying jackets are my faves and this is a real gem of a B-3! Congrats!!!

We haven't yet received or first fall consignment of these and your B-3 seems to have a more curly sheep wool than those in the past, so I'm curious if the water treatment made the wool more curly.

The jacket has now dried up.
Will post pics during daylight , during coming WW.

The jacket will keep drying and changing for a few weeks rather like concrete setting and curing. The best way to reduce the risks of damage due to weight is to wash inside a pillow case.
