Great vintage flight jacket pics ...
Thanks for commenting :) . Another cool thing is if you go to the bottom of the link you can hit links for certain jackets and aircraft. There are several pics on these links I have never seen. The color photos are also amazing. Cheers -Ronbo- ronbo

Great vintage flight jacket pics ...
Hi All - I am fairly new here and thought this might be of interest. I LOVE the vintage flight jackets you all have and have a few (and repros) myself. I found this link to some great shots I have never seen before of the B-15 and variants. Hope this is of interest and apologies if already known...- ronbo

B-15: your thoughts
Right you are. I have a B-15 C Buzz Rickson and that thing is PERFECT. As warm as my Eastman B-3 Repro and a lot less stiff. BR uses 100% spot on material and the price reflects this (sadly enough).

Alpha b-15: What a waste of time, energy, and money
Howdee - I am pretty new here but I saw the post and really feel for you Bro! . I have been a flight jacket NUT for several years and I have owned several of the repro brands. As for the B15 series I have to say my B-15 C from Buzz Rickson is KING. 100% original in material specs. I have owned...- ronbo
