That's one beautiful jacket, Brett! And of the hard-to-find B-series to boot. Except for it looking a tad short on the arms, it looks like a good fit.

As I said yesterday - it's a great jacket, but yes - too bad, the sleeves are "not yours"...damn, what a pity that I technically can't buy it. This is a gem for sure.

That’s exactly the way most were worn during the war . Check out some period photos . The jacket looks great on you.
Yep I don't think I've had one yet with short sleeves Steve, looks good to me also
Looks good, is that a roll up I spot?

Brett,
as much as I would like to answer that...I have no idea.
The jacket was purchased some 15 years ago, live and in person from JC, out of the trunk of his car at SeaTac ;-). Maybe @buzzthetower still knows what leather was used?!
JC was not sure if I wanted a Dubow or an AERO, so he brought them both and I took both of them. Got an extra personal tour at the Museum of Flight from @Stony , too.

No worries. It was worth asking for that little gem of a story! I'd have done the same... Thank you!

remember they were designed for use with arms extended horizontally so that sleeves would shorten but still cover wrists, all the originals I had were long armed therefore great for using on motorbikes, old cold cars etc

First trip out in my GW Star this year. A quizzical look because this mild weather can't last surely ...
