I always loved these jackets and needed the final push to get one. It came when I did my long commercial cross country from Minden to Vegas and the heater in the Piper Seminole started acting up. So we froze at 30 degrees until I began our descent into Vegas.
So next day I was making moves to get my B-3 and it was the best thing I ever did. The customer service placing the order was smooth and incredibly helpful and when the jacket came the fit, finish, classic style and utility couldn't be matched by any other high end brand. Sure it's $600 but it pays for itself when it gets cold. Safe flying.

This jacket looks just like the one in the Patton museum that was worn by Patton; unlike others claiming to do so. (Important to me). Quality, appearance, service, all excellent. It would IMHO be foolish to spend more for this jacket; don't know how one could be better made. (And it is USA made!) Fit is great. I told Saul my height and weight,(6'2", 205 lbs, 44 chest. Don't know if that were factored in or not, but my size 44 fits perfectly. Only small quirk, epaulettes are short and not attached except at shoulder seam. While perhaps period-correct, the unattached ends tend to stand up. Many fixes, of course. I attached subdued captains bars (my reserve rank) and that did the trick.

The B3 Cockpit/flight jack has always been my dream jacket. This B3 is the real deal. It is all that I have dreamed of. It is made out of the best Sheepskin pelts. The stitching is clean. The fur is soft and warm. And it looks great, on you or off of you. The price can't be matched. It will last for many generations. #flightjacket.com made my dream a reality. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. & FLIGHTJACKET.COM

Excellent quality B3 jacket
My B3 arrived today from Flight Jackets.com. It is outstanding to say the least. Excellent quality, heavy sheepskin leather, and the fit is perfect. This is by far the best deal on a reproduction B3 jacket out there!
