his is the Reed, which I am keeping, but for academic purposes will share some pictures of.

Wow! Both your N-3A's are in superb condition. I think the ''short'' sleeves were by design and meant to be worn with the heavy N-4A mittens that required enough space to cover up the wrist and forearm, longer sleeve would get in the way... just a idea from experience.

Cheers,

I’ve been tempted to get a B-15 but I already have so many jackets already and I already have a B-3.
A good B-10 has been on my list. The issue is the cheap ones are really cheap and the good ones are very expensive for what they are. Super nice, but nearly the cost of a brand new leather jacket. Originals are harder and harder to come by and kinda the same boat as the repros. The cheap ones are usually cheap because they are falling apart and the nice ones are expensive.
