This jacket is a 'Combat Clone' Good Wear Type B-10 flight jacket. This jacket was made to test a few details about how the B-10 was constructed originally, and to ensure that our button hole machine, which usually operates on leather, would do well with cloth. The button holes have a much higher stitch count and thinner thread.

Good Wear Leather Coat Co., related to Hudson Garment Co. of New York, had one contract for B-10 jackets.

The jacket is made with some old cotton in olive that we had, and it has slight variation in color. This is more pronounced in photographs, and the jacket looks like an old vintage B-10 in person. The patches are modern reproductions, and have been aged to look a bit old. Otherwise, the jacket has only experienced 5-6 hours of light wear, and is in very solid, like new condition.

The buttons are vintage WWII buttons, and the zipper is an NOS brass M-43 Talon, which works great. Originals of this contract would have Conmar zippers, but we're saving our Conmars for production jackets.

This is an extremely warm jacket, as the Alpaca/wool blend lining (grey, as original Good Wear B-10s were) is quite the succesful medium to retain heat. Some Alpaca can be itchy, and we would describe this as not overtly so, just a little bit.

This jacket fits a little big on John, so if you're a smidge larger than John's size, or like an oversized jacket, this would do fine in comparison to most test fit jackets.

This jacket will ideally fit a person who is 5'10" to 6'2", with a chest circumference of 43-45", and weight of 185-210 pounds.
