About This Jacket:

This is a great example that Buzz Rickson has made, in replicating a 1950's B-15D (MOD). These jackets often had the fur collars removed, and the Air Force had a special manner of authenticating this. The jacket would get a white label that stated it had been changed in accordance with a regulation number. With this jacket, the collar has a slightly different shade of green, which was possible with a replacement knit collar. The size is 40, but it fits a bit like a 42. Note the color of the oxygen hose tab and the strong blue tint of the nylon.
