The Type B-3 was standardized on May 29th 1933, and remained virtually unaltered until its discontinuation in 1943.

This heavy duty Arctic issue jacket has untanned Shearling Sheepskin exterior with extra strong Horsehide sleeve and seam overlays for extra protection, single map pocket on the right hand side and heavy leather straps with 3-way stud collar closure for use in foul weather to enable the jacket to provide added protection to the lower part of the face.

Aero Leather Clothing uses the correct B-3 weight heavy Shearling Sheepskin with extra strong Horsehide sleeve and seam overlays for extra protection, and single map pocket on the right hand side. It has heavy leather straps with three-way stud collar closure for use in foul weather which enables the jacket to provide added protection to the lower part of the face. Aero also uses the spec weight, shorter shearling for the cuffs, waistbands and wind flap.  All versions use a Triple Marked Talon zipper on wide herringbone tape, alloy buckles recast from originals, just as it was back then!
