In the US military
there were the more
lightweight jackets such as
the
A-2 and the G-1,
and for pilots who flew in the
higher, sub-zero altitudes
the warmer sheepskin/sheep
wool jackets such as the
B-3 or the B-6.
The main requirements of the
jackets were that they needed
to be durable, yet
comfortable to move around in,
and of course the sheepskin
jackets needed to be,
in addition to the first two
requirements, also warm.
Many pilots enjoyed their
jackets so much, that they not
only wore them while
flying, but also in their free
time. Our jackets are
manufactured after the
original jacket patterns,
and once you try one of our
jackets, you will surely
see why these jackets were so
popular.
