" Original " B3 for sale on the bay

[WBOONE]

There is a nice looking vintage B3 for sale under "ORIGINAL WWII 1942 US ARMY AIR FORCE LEATHER & FLEECE B3 BOMBER JACKET LARGE 44R". Sorry cant link to it, maybe someone here can/will. What do you guys say about it? Is it the real deal or the standard ebay , shall we say, "mis-identified" jacket? It has the spec tag but seems to be a no-name jacket.

yea, not a bad looking B3 all in all. I wonder who the original maker was?

 

[Roughwear]

This maker was quite prolific in the War, having several contracts. No one as far as I know has identified the maker.
