Good afternoon.. I was wondering if anyone knows of a repro company making the B-15B jacket..?? I know a number of years ago I saw it on the Buzz Rickson site, but they were gone and never made again... My brother is wearing one in a picture from the Korean War, he flew the B-26 or A-26 whatever its designation was at that time. I was tinkering with the idea of ordering an Aero B10, but keep thinking it would be nice to find a repro of the jacket he wore.. I know Eastman makes a B-15A, which is cloth versus nylon, but $1000 is steep...

Bob Dong and Bronson make crackers! These are copied of Buzz Rickson jackets (I'm to be corrected)... Very good quality, same sizing. I had both a Bob Dong and Bronson B-10 and they were very good. Nothing comes close to Eastman for B-10 and B-15s though.
