WWII B7 Shearling Parka, November 1, 2022

[Skred]

I am looking to purchase a WWII B7 Shearling Parka. Online prices from from $100 (known scam site) to $2,000.

Where would you buy one?

I would probably have it made by 5* to my measurements.

Do you mean an original, or the parka type in general? The B-7 was made for an extremely short period of time during the war.

Aero, whether direct or through Thurston, is probably the best bet. I considered getting one from them before I chose an N-3B instead.

I would want a nice Arctic version at some point.
They're pricey but they will turn more heads than the standard Canada Goose, and even the overpriced Monclers.

The thedi version of this is off the charts. Would move to Alaska to wear it regularly.

I don’t know that it looks that different from the Aero and other versions–it’s just that Theodoros is such a gigachad that we can only imagine looking as cool as he does.

Nice parka to take your polar bear for a walk up in the Northwest Territories, eh?

Or northeastern Missouri on a windy -20*F day.

For anything sheepskin, I'd turn to Aero Leathers...

Or given infinite funds, Real McCoy. Best I've ever seen and by far.

Or get a Soviet sheepskin Bekesha military coat for 10 times less than RMC. 10 times more badass (probably 10 times warmer, too). When I was a teenager in Poland, these were all tbe rage, lol. But there were winters then...

These are warm af, I've tried a few on as every eastern bloc country made a carbon copy of it but it tends to look hobo, though. With coats like this, it's important to go luxury 'cause these can turn you into the "...the government!" guy after three wears.

Morning Gents!
I have a short Bekesha that I absolutely love! This coat is seriously warm! I've used it for long walks in -26C/-15F with just a long sleeve cotton t shirt under it and I felt no cold! These sheepskin coats are military issue so they are slapped together for soldiers and though they are well constructed, they are very roughed and have a peculiar smell due to the finish of the coat. If I use a mid layer, this coat can easily take -40C/F.
The day I took these pics it was 30F ... I was actually hot in my coat!

I like the darker color ones better! Very nice coat.
