Original B-15 in mint condition

[JonnyCrow]

I've always wonder why this jacket was so popular with the motor sports crowd. You can find images of guys with B-15's at moto cycle races and hot-rod grouping. Its been reproduced in Japan by Freewheelers for the vintage biker crowd too.

Interesting.

Don't forget numerous cop jackets, sheriff dept etc

@JonnyCrow Yes, I couldn't pass on this one. Early B-15's are super rare and in this condition nearly impossible. I only have B-15A's, but not a single B-15.

Amen to that Amigo, when something fills that slot it just has to be

I don't think so, I was just as avaricious a collector years ago haha it's a passion

I don't spend so much now as I have a Spanish wife who is passionate about ' viendo el dinero ' haha

Hummm I dont know for this one... It doesnt look like an official Olympic garment.

Its pretty modern too, way too late for me.

Dang Jorge, I am serious when I say when I bid on it, I thought “I bet Jorge is looking at this as well”. Congratulations, it does look like a beauty. I really hope you post some more pics of it when you receive it. I contacted the seller, (who was very nice) and he/she sent me several additional photos when I asked some questions. They then updated the listing with most of those afterward. I will be kicking myself for a while I am sure four letting it get away, but glad someone here snagged it. Congrats again. I am glad you didn't bid on the B-15A I won!

Thanks man! Congrats on the B-15A as well! Actually, I bid on the B-15A too, but I have 5 examples, lucky you ...... The condition was great indeed, definitely a good catch. I will be posting the B-15 soon, can't wait to get it.
