Wondering if anyone has any information on this company and it's jackets. I'm not finding much with google searching or searching this forum. Thanks

This trademark info should be helpful. Namely, it was registered in 1993 and discontinued in 2000. Although it says B-3 and sort of has a military-like label, it is not actual military. (B3s ended before the mid 20th century, not anytime near 1993). My best guess is that it is a civilian-made (probably made in China) jacket that mimics the B-3 design, but not to the point of being historically accurate or anything like that. There were many companies like this, I think.

Quality-wise, no idea. Never owned one of them. I have flipped a couple of civilian knockoff B-3s similar to this, and they seem okay.

Thanks for that info and website. That was a good idea to check there!
