Toys McCoy, a company with a deep knowledge of various American cultures, has released a leather flight jacket, the Type B-3, as part of its fall/winter 2024 collection.
The B-3 is a leather flight jacket developed for the heavy zone, a temperature range between -30°C and -10°C. The B-3 was created in 1934 as a winter flight jacket.
It is characterized by the use of “sheepskin shearling,” which uses sheepskin (sheepskin) together with fur, to provide excellent heat retention that can withstand the extreme cold of high altitude flights, and is also a jacket that can be called a synonym for “bomber jackets” that were mainly used by bomber crews in the U.S. Army Air Corps. It is a jacket that is synonymous with the “bomber jacket,” and is worn by bomber pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps.
TYPE B-3 TOYS McCOY MFG.
The movie “War Lover” was filmed in black and white, but through the filter of Steve McQueen, the appeal of this flying suit was strongly impressed upon the audience. This season's model reproduces a mouton color that is closer to the real thing, and the color of the horsehide leather has been brushed up as well. The result is the best possible finish.”
A large collar is provided to protect the neck area.
The collar is equipped with double straps, which can be fastened to provide excellent heat retention even in the extreme cold at high altitudes.
A patch pocket is attached only on the right side of the body.
The pockets are made of cowhide instead of mouton for durability, and the asymmetrical design is also an accent.
The outside of the sleeves are also reinforced with cowhide.
The back panel is made of three strips from the World War II period.
The panel, sides, and sleeves are reinforced with leather tape.
The front has a zipper closure with leather pulls, but a flap is provided on the inside to prevent cold air from entering through the gap.
To prevent cold air from entering through the hem, side adjusters are provided, making it suitable for motorcycle use as well.
The inside is covered with a long pile of fur so that the label is buried under it, which not only keeps you warm, but is exceptionally comfortable, as if you were wrapped in a blanket.
