B10 jackets France

[JonnyCrow]

Hi guys, any thoughts on this? Doesn't say who makes them whether they're Dong or Bronson, I know Bronson do with tan knits, incidentally I have my eye on a Spiewak B10 as well buts it's in Japan, all those Spiewak USA jackets seen to be in Asia, never seen any Europe or UK

Jacket, Flight, B-10, USAAF

Superb reproduction of the USAAF B-10 flight jacket with insignias. Superb reproduction of the B-10 flight jacket with insignias. In 1943 the U.S. Army Air Force B-10 intermediate flight jacket has been introduced as a replacement for the earlier leather flight jackets like the A-2s or the B-3s...

This is the write up, curious

This B-10 flight jacket replica features all the detail which are also found on originals: Custom-woven polished cotton satin outer shell color matched to the exact specifications, custom-made alpaca wool lining, genuine plush mouton fur collar in dark brown, custom-made knit cuffs and waistband, proper size and manufacturer label, U.S. Army Air Force insignia on shoulder and on wind flap, proper 1940's style zinc zipper. These jackets are to the highest quality standards

it is not a Bronson, the fur collar is much different.

I know I've seen Bronson, there's one here in Madrid, seller wants 100 for it still with tags, brown knits

The only let down I've seen is that brass talon zip on a bronson

I have a Bronson B-10, it is a sturdy and really warm jacket.

I have a Bronson B-10, it is a sturdy and really warm jacket.

So at 100 euros then it's a bargain

Spiewak B-10 Repro Info Please

Anyone know about these Repros? Good? Bad? Real Fur liner and collar or fake. Do they run small? Looks pretty good. I see it says US Army Air Force not Forces. Other than that the tag looks ok.

I’ve owned a Spiewak B-15a repro . It’s a nicely made jacket . $180.00 US is a good price if the jacket has no issues .

I don't, it's difficult to find info on those Spiewaks, they seem rare birds, I know it was discussed here and I know Burt had a Spiewak but a b15 not b10
