Military-The Real McCoy’s Type B-3 Real Mccoy Mfg. Co. S.Brown

The Real Mccoy&Rsquo;S Type B-3 Is A Faithful Reproduction Of The Original Usaac B-3 Jacket. The B-3 Was Made For And Mainly Issued To Bomber Crews Who Flew At Higher Altitudes And Was Typically Meant To Be Worn With Its Matching A-3 Trousers. Compared To The B-2 Before It, Which Was Designed For Milder Weather, The B-3 Was Constructed With Sheep Shearling, Which Is Not Only Better For Cold-Weather Protection, But Also Lighter And More Productive, Making It The Ideal Material For Cold-Weather Equipment.

The Royal Air Force Had Actually Adopted The Sheep Shearling Lining Before The U.S., And Their &Lsquo;Irvin Jacket&Rsquo;, Which Was Created In The Early 1920S For The Raf, By Leslie Irvin, Is Widely Considered To Be The Inspiration Of The B-3. The B-3, To This Day, Is Still Considered To Be One Of Most Widely Recognizable Flight Jackets In The World, Being Immortalized By Steve Mcqueen And Marilyn Monroe, Amongst Others.

The Type B-3 Real Mccoy Mfg. Co. Features A Lightweight, But Dense And Warm Sheepskin Lining Wrapped In A Cowhide Body Shell With The Jacket&Rsquo;S Accents Having A Horsehide Leather Finish. There Are Dot Button-Type Fasteners Over A 40S Bell-Type Nickel Plated Zipper On Front Of The Jacket As Well As Belt-Style Fasteners At The Collar And The Sides Of The Jacket For Sizing Adjustments. There Is Also A Convenient And Deep Waist Pocket On The Right-Front Of The Jacket. All In Homage To The Original Design.
