The B-9 flight jacket, famous for being made by Eddie Bauer in the U.S. military, was issued for a short period only, from 1943 to 1944. Therefore, the B9 type was produced using the actual pattern for civilian use. It's almost impossible to find real ones in good condition, and even civilian versions are mostly well-worn. This is a type product, but it's a deadstock, brand-new, unused item. With a SIMCO aluminum zip and a WPL marking from the manufacturer, it's believed to be a product from the 1950s to 60s. The shell is cotton satin, still with its original stiffness. It has a silhouette similar to the N-3B, a split hood seen on the N-2B, and a chin strap with boa on the collar. The quilted lining extends to the sleeve cuffs, and the inner cuffs are ribbed. There is no damage that would affect wear, other than age-related deterioration. There is a white line along the fold on the left front, but it's not very noticeable. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive. Marked size: S Flat measurements: Shoulder width 49cm, Body width 58cm, Sleeve length 58cm, Length 84cm (approx.) A similar civilian product in a larger size, with obvious stains, sells for 58,500 yen at a famous military shop. Good size, and in miraculous condition!
