I might be a bit worried about that wobbly zip. I had an original Cable A-2 the zip of which had been fitted with a zip that was too short. Whoever had sewn it in had obviously run out of the right length, so they s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d it to fit. Unfortunately, the zip had contracted back to its original length, leaving it rippled and distorted the front of the jacket. Hope yours doesn't suffer the same fate the other way around: shrinking body and an unshrunken zip.

Redskin flying jackets are my faves and this is a real gem of a B-3! Congrats!!!
We haven't yet received or first fall consignment of these and your B-3 seems to have a more curly sheep wool than those in the past, so I'm curious if the water treatment made the wool more curly.

The jacket will keep drying and changing for a few weeks rather like concrete setting and curing. The best way to reduce the risks of damage due to weight is to wash inside a pillow case.
