B-6 jackets were in service around 1939, and were made of thinner sheepskin than the B-3. The jacket is of a very sharp design, with epaulettes, a bi-swing back, and closable sleeve ends. Also note the zipper adjustments on the waist. They appear to have been made in small numbers, as they aren't as plentiful as the B-3 jacket, and there aren't too many left.
