FIVESTAR LEATHER B3 JACKETS

[stanier]

A B3 is a B3 and at 27000 feet you were happy with a B3!!!

Really? The point of this forum is that we are not at 27000 feet and we go over the details at 27mm most if not all guys who did wear them at 27000 feet almost certainly didn't give a fig about.

If you're happy with a Five Star jacket then fine its your money and your choice. I don't want one, thank you.

A B3 is not a B3 but still those guys back in 40-45 were happy with a warm sheepskin....
I'm 6 meters below sealevel at the moment and still happy with my B3 even if it isn't a B3...
Even an eastman or an aero isn't a B3 but nothing more than a reproduction. Spijkers op laag water noemt men dat in nederland. And yesterday I bought an Aero B3. Am I still in the game now. Or should I leave?

Original or a repro?

Either but I just need the part that connect to the slider on top and the leather strip on bottom . Is that’s what’s called “the pull” . Not the slider or the zipper - they work. Thank you in advance

 

[Bahabp1000]

That is on a B-3!?

Yes looks like kinda like this . Is the paper clip looking think called “the pull”

Does anyone know the name or the brand of the B-3 zipper pull cause I need a replacement if anyone knows where . Thank you View attachment 45168

In ww2 no official military issued jacket had a zipper pull like this, in any case no B3. Such types first appeared in the late 50s. G1's or M65 field jackets for example...

Guys,

good news for anyone considering a FiveStar B-3:

@Shawn Ali was able to score an original jacket.
It's an AEROLEATHER 535-ac-19436, which - as far as I know - is an early model from the fiscal year 1941. It has the early two-panel back construction and features a colour combination of seal torso and full russet sleeves (hide and reinforcements).

It’s a beauty, Shawn! That’s a great purchase, and I’m looking forward to seeing how your B-3s look now that the patterns will be taken from an original. It looks like it will be useful for color matching shearling too!

 

[B-Man2]

That’s one of the best purchases you’ve made Shawn . It should enhance the quality of all your future B-3 jackets .

Be sure to let us know when the redskins shearling arrives. Looking forward to that. Great score on the original.

Shawn, how long is the fleece on your repro B3? Is it 22mm like the original?

Thanks for asking, well the thickness of our sheep is 18-20 mm, I already posted its thickness measurement images in this forum before. We are also making the improved fleece Fur for our next B3's Jackets which will be in our inventory soon.

Best Regards

Hi Everyone

We jus made the new sheepskin leathers for new development of this B3. Your kind remarks will be appreciated.

Shawn, those colors look gorgeous. What's the thickness of the shearling?

 

[leper-colony]

The fleece side is amazing! And the brown has been well represented in jackets you have made and is amazing as well.

Is the redskin finish a solid pigment?
