B-3 Bomber jacket help....?

[67chevl]

I recently aquired this jacket and can not find any info on it? There is nothing on the jacket itself that says who made it. I would like to know how old it is and also a value? I am new to this forum and can't attach pics so here is a link to the jacket in my photo bucket account. Thank you for any help.

Possible hint: the small white label appears to be in Swedish.

I would guess it's not a collectors' item, as it has the front slit pockets and what looks like a distressed finish. This means it was made for the mass market and not by a high end repro maker. My guess is it's 20 years old or less.

Compare to this Eastman B-3, repro of a 1941 Rough Wear contract model, which goes for GBP 599.

Welcome to the forum. Your jacket is no earlier than the 1980s and is typical of many B-3 style jackets that frequent Ebay. If you ever want to up-grade you can't go wrong with an Eastman B-3. There are some good deals on Ebay.
