Rough Wear B-3 42-18653-p

[aswatland]

Back in the summer I bought a size 42R original RW B-3 from the 42-18653-P contract. It is in well preserved condition, but I did have to replace the left cuff using shearling from a wrecked B-3. I like the contrasting russet hh facings and the dark seal finish to the shearling. Unlike many USAAF shearlings this one is wearable, although I would not wear it on a regular basis for obvious reasons.

An indoor shot which brings out the russet colour of the facings better.

That is a really nice jacket, and you did a good job on the repair. Congratulations on a great find.
