B3 Need information

[Jpc]

Bonjour à tous
Voici ma nouvelle acquisition B3 vintage , je souhaite avoir des informations , l’étiquette ne mentionne pas le fabricant ? Année de fabrication 1940 ? , qu’elle est la teinte d’origine? Comment nettoyer la doublure de mouton ? Quelle produit pour le cuir
Merci de votre aide

Salut 1st wash with a good leather soap and warm water and rinse allow the jacket to dry then you can use lanolin to feed the jacket ... for the fleece a good washing soap like woolite might be good too.

Yes Order 43-13609 AF you are right , unfortunately i need the change the zipper in not original

 

[flyincowboy]

i will leave the zipper in place if not damaged...the leather is 80 year old and fragile.. and it's hard to reuse the same thread stich to stich if you are not use to do so. Don't ask me how i know ! treat your jacket gently it's a piece of history put it on a mannequin for display. not on a coat hanger.

Most of the time they were dyed seal brown with an acrylic laquer to waterproof them earlier B3 were dyed russet
