Odd Buzz B-15B

[Peter Graham]

Take a look at this Buzz B-15B. Notice anything odd ? It appears to be made of cloth and is alpaca lined. Is this a copy of a really early pre nylon B-15B that I, for one, am unaware of, or is it a Buzz fantasy jacket ?

The contract number, and details on the label are correct for a 1949 Reed Products B-15B ... can't figure it out. :?

The seller bought this from me more than 3 years ago. Great jacket, that I probably should have held on to. Rare too...don't think I've ever seen another. No idea whether it was an actual Test Sample repro (there were cloth variants of a lot of the nylon jackets) or if it was a Buzz special.

Blimey! The seller did well out of that!
