Description: Gentlemen, Offered here is this reproduction of the Type B-15A Mod. made by The Real McCoy's This version is no longer in production. Developed as the replacement for the B-15 in 1944, the B-15A incorporated some of the key features which made the B-15 the Pilots favourite. These features included two triangle shaped leather patches for clipping the oxygen mask hose to, a larger pencil pocket and snap down tabs on the breasts for attaching the leads from the microphone and headset. This is Type B-15A Mod. is a transitional version. The modification was intended to reduce the jacket’s flammability, considered greater with the original style fur collar which also interfered with the new style rigid fiberglass helmets introduced in the early Jet Age. These jackets were modified in the mid 50’s by removal of the original fur collar, and replacement with the wool elastic collar, this is the reason why the collar knit doesn’t match the rest of the knits. A new tag was then applied reflecting the modification. The accuracy in every detail of this example is amazing. The Real McCoy's used all the correct materials according to the original specs in the production of this jacket.
