Cockpit USA B-6 cut sheepskin jacket, first introduced in 1939 and widely used in WWII, treated to recreate the old color of the originals. Specifically designed to protect airmen from the cold while maintaining the lightness and flexibility that the Bomber B-3 lacked.
It is an incredibly contemporary garment designed by craftsmen, ideal for today's use, which also has, on the left arm, the representative patch of the US Army Air Force (USAAF).
Since our items are made to order in the USA, delivery time is 2 to 4 weeks. In case it takes longer, we will inform you personally.
The B-6 short sheared sheepskin flight jacket was first introduced in 1939 and used extensively in the Army Air Force training command when pilots flew open cockpit training planes but needed a lightweight jacket for ease of movement.
Light enough to wear with a sweater and other layering pieces; the B-6 shearling bomber jacket is an incredibly contemporary piece of clothing designed by artisans years ago but an easy piece for the field or street.
Please note that the shearling is tanned to “antique” as you wear it, giving “highs and lows” in the color so it looks as if you had this jacket since WWII. This will not affect the durability of this product. Order the B-6 flight jacket today! Sheepskin varies from production to production but you'll always receive the same craftmanship and warmth from Cockpit USA.
