Type B-3 Leather Jackets
The type B-3 leather jacket is a classic, heavy-duty avaitor-style jacket that was originally designed for WWII bomber crews flying at high altitudes. B-3 leather jackets are known to provide exceptional warmth thanks to a combination of a durable leather exterior and a thick sheepskin lining. Here at Aero Leathers, we stock a range of faithful reproductions of the B-3 jacket based on the same specifications and standards as the Army Air Corps garments, many of which are still going strong after 70 years of wear!
