Simmons Bilt Type B6 Flight Jacket / Aviator Sheepskin 18mm - Chocolate Brown

A WWII sheepskin flying jacket used by the USAAF. The Type B-6 was introduced in 1939 and classed as an intermediate, it was an alternative to the Type B-3 which was a more bulky sheepskin flying jacket which caused issue in terms of movement especially in the confines of a cockpit.

Due to the nature of the natural raw materials Simmons Bilt use and the traditional method of manufacture they employ it is not always possible to meet exact measurement requirements. The products SB build are not designed to be tailored like a suit, they will after a "break in" period soften and mold to the shape of your own body.
