B6 Jacket?

I have this jacket. I think it's a B6, it has no label. I would appreciate any input you all may have in identifying it. I can't even find a manufacturer who made the 'Zip' zipper online. They all seem to be Talon.
Thanks

Civilian style, B-3 jacket design with front yoke and hand warmers pockets. Mouton looks to be in decent shape, just clean and wear.
Thanks for that. I need to get rid of it. Any idea how much l should ask? I acquired it in 1992 and the gentleman who gave it to me had owned it for a number of years already. My guess would be it's around 40 yrs old.

That is a really nice B6! Sorry I can't help with identifying the maker, but I do like the cut, and has some very nice patina. Any idea what size it is?

I'm at work right now. I will take some measurements when I get home. I usually wear a large and it fits me nicely.

Search Avirex and you'll find your answer on Ebay. Be aware that there are a lot of just as nice ones from Schott and Golden Bear from the same era.
One master of air show brings out all these jackets. And I can't even get pass the second episode...

Beautiful jacket, man....that is a nice piece! And, sad to say (as i open my wallet, and peer into its emptiness), that would be just about exactly my size.

And I concur, woulda been kinda weird...
LoL
