Back in the mid 1980s Avirex were big in England and this picture was a part of a large stand up montage advertising piece most shops used. Unfortunately Avirex did not sell wartime style B3s. Yes they sold sheepskin jackets with a B3 label but none of the jackets had B3 details such as the reinforcing on the arms, asymmetrical sewn zip or single pocket.
When I asked about the jacket General Patton wore the manager insisted that Avirex's jackets were the real thing(but repro's) of the jacket Patton wore because of the label. Sorry but I called him a 'know nothing idiot" in front of his salesman when it came to WWII jackets and was promptly shown the door:).
