This item has been sold. Good Wear Arnoff Mfg. Co. Type B-6 'Combast Clone' Price: $850.00 (lightly used condition) — note shipping costs below Fit: comfortable in the right size Leather: seal brown sheepskin, veg-tanned seal horsehide Buckles: blackened brass, accurate for this contract Snaps: vintage NOS United-Carr Line 24 fasteners Thread: mid-brown cotton Zipper: brass Conmar (vintage slider and stopper) Size: 44 This jacket is a 'Combat Clone' reproduction of Arnoff's WWII Army Air Forces B-6 contract. They were one of the larger companies making flight jackets during the war, and they had one contract for the Type B-6. We own an original from this small contract. They had some unique details in comparison to Aero's larger and more common contracts, such as having a slightly different pocket stitch design, placing the epaulet directly over the shoulder seam, and the leather tabs at the bottom of the zipper being completely atop the sheepskin. We have carefully copied the pattern of the Arnoff, and it's a great looking jacket. The design is comfortable, and has well shaped sleeve holes and torso. The sheepskin used is from an American tannery, and has excellent weight. This jacket has some vintage parts from WWII. The slider and stopper of the Conmar zipper are from 1941, and all the snaps are vintage United-Carr Line 24 blackend fasteners, sourced from 1943. The original we have was made with United-Carr snaps. The label is an exact copy of the original. The buckles are identical to those of our jacket, and Aero used these buckles in some contracts as well. This jacket is pre-aged to look like an original from WWII. All the aging is artificial, and this looks very much like a vintage jacket, but in new and wearable condition. This jacket will ideally fit a person who is 5'10" to 6'2", with a chest circumference of 42.5-45", and weight of 185-215 pounds. « Return  Jacket dimensions:  Front along zipper 24.5"  Front chest under arms 23"  Back width under arms 23" (plus 4" with pleats)  Back height 27.5"  Shoulder width 21"  Sleeves, from shoulder to end 25.5" Good Wear Arnoff Mfg.
