TRIGGER WARNING: Here's some celebrities I won't bother to identify. The woman wearing a shearing flyer's jacket with the sleeves cut off. Given that it has handwarmer pockets, it was evidently a non-authentic repro, but even so it looks to have been good quality and it's a waste of shearling.

Looks like it was made for a 500 lb. man. with those gigantic sleeve openings.

Here's a civilian shearling (B3 knockoff) being worn by Rihanna. It appears to be decent quality, which makes sense since she can afford any price point.

the father of Major Michael Watts, USMC, F-35 pilot (couldn't determine his father's name)

I’d have loved to fly the T-28. So much more burly than the T-34.
