If it's anything like their B-10 it should be good, and if you're trying to decide, the B-10 v B-15 thread should help ...

Hey Dave,
I recently acquired one. Haven't taken the time yet to post about it, but if you like I can post pics. I have both the ELC B10 and B15 now, and am hard put to say which is my favorite jacket now.
I like the cut of the B10 better, I think, but much appreciate handwarmer pockets (a first on a AAF jacket) and the LARGE inside pockets of the B15.

I had both but sold my B-10 in favour of my ELC B-15. very practical cut and loads of storage space. I too could post photos but Peter is a better photographer than I ! I'm currently taking photos of my three cloth Buzz deck jackets for the cloth section and might post the B-15 there cheers,
Dave

Here are my pictures. Not any detailed ones yet, I'm afraid: the ones I took were too blurred. A moving experience, taking those photos ... 
This is what you see when you open the box:
The color the jacket has here is closest to what it looks like in daylight. The last two pics were flashed.
And here is me wearing it: hands in pockets!! The B15 was, as far I can tell, the first military flight jacket, that had official handwarmer pockets!
Some of us complained (in an earlier thread) about the size of the collar on the B15. It is definitely bigger than the one on the B10, but very comfortable and warm in the neck.
The off-centre zipper is an interesting, but rather pointless characteristic of the B15. Don't really see any practical advantage, that I can think of. Anybody?

Love the photos Peter.
I have an ELC B-10 and love it dearly. Only down side (as everyone already said) is no hand warmers. I do have a Buzz B-15C when I need those though.
