The ultimate Buzz Rickson jacket?

[Tim P]

Hear tell that one of the jackets worn by Steve McQueeen in 'the war lover' is due to be auctioned.
No more details as it was a footnote in todays paper.

Real McCoys issued the Real McQueen MA-1 some years ago, so BR owning a movie-original might be a bit of a sting to RMC?

Here's the link to the auction of the B-3 at Bonhams.

As Buzz Rickson, McQueen wore at least two B-3s and the one for sale is the rougher of the two.

Looks like there have been some unsympathetic repairs on the cuffs.
