For Sale:
A size 40 Buzz Rickson reproduction B-15B. The first nylon 'jet jockey ' jacket, introduced soon after WW2 (some originals bear the USSAF decal and some the USAF) and many were still in use at the time of the Korean War. Some people rate these more highly than the 'Korean era' B-15C and D jackets. BR's version (also sold through HPA and ELC) is a a very close reproduction with accurate nylon, good mouton, leather oxygen clip and nice Crown repro zips.
This example is in virtually unworn condition. It still smells new. The only fault I can find is a tiny (1 mm) nick on the windflap, which doesn't show at all when partly zipped. Let's say £200. They are the equivalent of 300 GBP new.
PM me if interested.
