B3 Bomber Jacket
The B3 Flight Jacket was first designed in the 1920s by Leslie Irvin and became the only supplier of B3 flight jackets to the Royal Air Force during World War II. It is crafted of sheepskin and lined with heavy-duty sheep fur, and was introduced in the mid 1930s. The jacket was created in response to the introduction of the B-17 Flying Fortress, a long range strategic bomber by the United States Army Air Corps. After its introduction, other types of flight jackets were developed, such as those with knit waistbands. A Bomber Jacket is usually short, waist-length, and should fit snugly around the body.
