http://s1131.photobucket.com/albums/m543/PADDYSALES/USAAF B-10 Cloth Flying Jacket - WWII Original/
Stagg B10 early version without any epaulettes or shoulder stencils..etc- £350 to clear (plus actual post). - you'll notice I've knocked £50 GBP off this for the right home!
I wore it today, but finding it a tad tight these days chaps! I'm more a 42 now and this is ideal for a 40 or below.
Great condition and much less than some Buzz Ricksons I've seen going on Ebay recently!
A 'very solid' jacket. getting slightly thinnish just where one cuff meets the knits and the mouton has thinned in one patch at the back, but you cannot see it when worn as it doesn't show when the collar is turned over and essentially the mouton is thick and solid as is the alpaca lining. Knits are original, have some moth nips and wear, but still plenty of life and are not near replacing.
I love this jacket, but I won't be wearing it anymore Gents, so it needs a new home now.
NOTE - If someone wants this to burn out on the beach and see it ripped to shreads then don't waste your time on this original jacket - it ain't going to happen. I want this to go to a good home (and there's plenty 'here' to offer that) where the new custodian respects a good condition, historical item such as this.
First to PM to say 'yes,' gets it - simple! Good Luck
