Thanks! Yes it’s Redskin

Is this 15mm or 18mm sheepskin?

Thanks

 

[Haitham]

This is 18mm, anytime!

This is 18mm, anytime!

How does the sheepskin compare to an Eastman b3, or even an Aero b3 (If you have had experience with those)

Thanks

Compared to Eastman B3 (Rough Wear) veg-tanned and hand-dyed that I had, the sheepskin of Eastman is harder than my Simmons Bilt B3. On the other hand, the sheepskin of this Simmons Bilt is smoother and offers more worm.

Type B-3 :: Rough Wear® Contract 17756

This contract's full designation is 'W535 AC-17756'. It was the first contract awarded to Rough Wear for B-3s, in 1941.

Type B3

Description Sheepskins Sizing The Type B-3 was a standard issue flying jacket by May 1943 and superceded by the later AN-J-4 type. Due to the nature of the natural raw materials we use and the traditional method of manufacture we employ it is not always possible to meet exact measurement...
