Up for your consideration is a Genuine Sheepskin Shearling Vintage French B-3 Style Bomber Jacket. It was made in France during the 1950’s with amazing attention to detail and style. An iconic, heirloom piece designed after the original flight bomber jackets from the 1930’s and similar to the modern reproductions by Schott. Genuine Sheepskin Shearling – thick and warm. Luxuriously Soft Lambskin leather. Original heavy full zipper front closure. Shawl Collar that can be turned up with single metal snap button closure (see photo). 2 Large Front leather Pockets with angled opening. Raglan sleeve for added comfort. Wonderful stitch design on shoulder and upper arm. Color: Rich Cognac (Amber Tan / Medium Brown). I’ve received several messages regarding the color. It’s pretty true to the colors in the photos; however, I understand every monitor/ screen may display it differently. Here’s a sample I found on the internet that is the closest to the jacket. It’s a gorgeous shade of tan/brown but not exactly either of these traditional leather colors. Cognac is the best description and several leather color charts have it; however, not all are the same tone/ shade. Condition: Excellent vintage condition – clean inside and out with NO storage smells. The internal shearling is in excellent condition. All seams are tight and intact. Original zipper is strong and smooth. The external leather is in great condition – signs of normal wear around the cuffs, pockets, and under the arms. Approximate Measurements – vintage French size 46 taken laying flat with zipper closed. Chest: 23 (underarm to underarm). Raglan Sleeve: 29 (top of shoulder or side of neck to sleeve cuff). Length: 24.5 (back of neck to bottom hem). Waist: 18 (across the bottom).
