TYPE B-6 REDSKIN SHEARLING

To come across an original B-6 flight jacket in todays time is very rare.
During World War II, they were one of the types of jackets with a pretty short "Lifespan".
Introduced to the military population on June 12, 1939- it replaced the much popular
B-3 jacket because a jacket was needed which could be worn in the tighter confines of
a closed fighter plane cockpit (for which the B-3 was too bulky).

We were lucky enough to receive an original World War II - B-6 flight jacket from which we
could reproduce our jackets in facsimile, with 1:1 details, and vegetable tanning methods to
receive the unique red color for this "Redskin" version of the popular B-6.

The B-6 flight jacket was much beloved by the pilots of the fighter planes, as well as the ground
work crew, because of the comfortable fit.
