The B-6 short sheared sheepskin flight jacket was first introduced in 1939 and widely used in the training command of the Army Air Force when pilots flew open cockpit training aircraft but needed a lightweight jacket for ease of movement. Light enough to wear with a sweater and other layering pieces; The B-6 Shearling Bomber Jacket is an incredibly contemporary garment designed by artisans years ago, but an easy piece to wear in the field or on the street. Please note that the sheepskin is "antiqued" tanned when you wear it, which gives "ups and downs" in the color, making it look like you have had this jacket since WWII. This will not affect the durability of this product. Order the B-6 Flight Jacket today! Sheepskin varies from production to production, but you will always receive the same craftsmanship and warmth from Cockpit USA. We love its short sheared sheepskin, leather piped stitching and throat latch double loop. You have shoulder pads, rear bi-swing and side entry handwarmer pockets. There are also side zippers at the hips. This is a classic fit jacket, available in Antique Brown, proudly made in the USA.
