It looks like Ralph’s Pugh contributed to helping produce B-15 flight jackets during WWII.

The jacket is in bad shape, but it’s fascinating to see.

Awesome find!

Fascinating that the RP “Top Notch Sportswear” label was used on a military jacket. Im not super versed on military jackets but I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.

Back is a little bit different with three belt loops on the Levi’s and two on RP jackets and the sleeve is connected a bit different but the details such as the front layout, amount of belt loops and belt loop shape, collar shape with corduroy reinforcement, cuff shape, cuff buttons are all the same. It also looks like there might be an RP lining behind there.

The owner of the Levi’s said he may bring it to Inspiration. He wants $6k for it! I may just tell him I have interest just so he can bring it and I can take better pics lol!
