Mixed Batch B-3 Natural Hide

[Xopher]

Has anyone ever seen this kind of mixed batch B-3 before? Anyone have information on it?

This must be super rare. I have never seen a mixed batch B-3 with Natural hide before!

Eastman ought to make one of these.

These were photos I saved from an EBay auction some time ago.

That’s really a rare bird . Never saw or heard of one before. Anyone else seen one of these?

 

[John Lever]

I have seen a few usually in bad condition

Isn't John Chapman making a combat clone for someone on here, may have already done so by now?

Actually I could be thinking of something slightly different, natural but without the horse hide sleeves.

A vest type ??

No, there definitely was an original B-3 like this that came up on here around a year ago, I’m just having trouble finding it.

No just minus the extra layer of leather over the shearling.

I think 5 Star did one for Standard Workwear

I own the B-3 pictured! It is the only example I’ve seen out of that Perry contract with untreated white panels. Sent pictures and such to John and Gary. Will circle back and link the threads on this jacket.

Here is the original thread on the jacket. I still own it and really love looking at it!
