I acquired this jacket sometime ago and has always been a favorite of mine. It is a rarely seen B6 flight jacket produced by Aero Leather in size 42R. Wish it had a name or any identifying marks of personal ownership but it is clean of them.

 

At the time I bought it the zippers on the sides were shredded and the front zip was a postwar replacement. Other than that the jacket is in fantastic shape. I had left it this way for a long time and since the weather has turned up here I figured I would get some work done on it. After long searching I was able to find wartime Talon zippers to replace and repair the jacket. Thus began the arduous process of restitching in the new zippers through the existing stitches in the leather. And after long hours the jacket is complete again.
