Lost Worlds B-3

[tda003]

This jacket is currently up for auction. It looks, and is listed as, "like new". It's a Lost Worlds B-3 in size 38. I am refraining from bidding as I'm pretty sure that not even my bare bones skeleton would fit in it. Estimated to bring $300 - $400 usd.

over built, like a Sherman tank. they look nice, but ya can't move in them because they are so stiff. it probably takes two life time to break one of these in. btw, dubow [on the label] never made b-3s during wwll.

I think the estimate is too low. Vic is right about stiffness, the build quality is very good though.
The issue with many jackets is the use of shoe leather, it never really breaks in.

Omnia Auctions
Matthew Bullock Auctions
Affiliated Auctions
CNY Militaria & Collectables

The 1st 7 have some stated to be original A-2's, G-1's and an N-3B

Please feel free to do your own searches as I did. It won't hurt my feelings, leper colony.

When I was 25 I looked that good! I'll message you with my recruiting film. A few seconds of fame and glory.
