Oozes quality and fits perfectly. This is so comfortable and easy to wear.
I have a T-shirt under, it's around 5 to 6 degrees out and Im fine. Consider my sheepskin curiosity satiated! I need no other!
Will do a review in due course.

Perfect fit Brett. Any adjustments made to the sleeve length?
I know there's no historical accuracy with Avi's B-3A, but something keeps drawing me back to it...as does their M-445A. Someone tell Mortene that I'll gladly review one or both for him...lol.

Funny you should ask.
After the B-6, I spent too much time trying to work out dims and measurements, comparing the B-6 to D-1.
In the end, went with a Medium, and requested an extra 1cm to sleeves and body.
Result = perfect fit, even lifting arms or sitting. I think a regular Medium would have worked just as well, but that little extra makes a diff to me.
Edit: The measurements on AVI's website, are pretty accurate.

Your calculations definitely paid off. You couldn't improve on that fit.
On a separate note, does it look like the zipper pulls can be easily replaced on the pockets or is there too limited of space to remove/ install the pull once the stop is removed?

I think its possible, with deft hands/ fingers/ tools.
Space is limited.
I'll try and take some pics soon. Working through the hols mostly, but should be quieter.

Great time watching the arrival of the first 2 F-35's to be assigned to Ebbing Field in Fort Smith, AR. These are Polish Air Force F-35's. Fort Smith is home to a new huge F-35 Foreign Military Sales Training Mission. Ultimately about 48 jets assigned here with a base renovation/expansion program of about $1 Billion. Out with my kid. it was cold.........and the horror of seeing so many USAF Pilots wearing their current issue A-2's. The velcro, the hand warmer pockets ..............make it stop!

B-6, the only shearling that keeps your natural elegance... (except of course Thomas, to whom everything goes well!)
B-6: The only one with practical pockets when you forget your gloves!

It's 3°C outside, "the foie gras" and white pudding are digested before starting to eat again in a few minutes, the right time to go outside to try for the first time my recently acquired B-3 (the one that is 30 years old but never worn).
Just a henley underneath and I take 4 hats for testing...
I think the best is the khaki commando hat!
"Bon appétit" and Merry Christmas!
