Untitled Document In the US military there were the more lightweight jackets such as the A-2 and the G-1, and for pilots who flew in the higher, sub-zero altitudes the warmer sheepskin/sheep wool jackets such as the B-3 or the B-6.
The main requirements of the jackets were that they needed to be durable, yet comfortable to move around in, and of course the sheepskin jackets needed to be, in addition to the first two requirements, also warm.
Many pilots enjoyed their jackets so much, that they not only wore them while flying, but also in their free time. Our jackets are manufactured after the original jacket patterns, and once you try one of our jackets, you will surely see why these jackets were so popular.

USAAF Type D-1 Ground Crew Jacket Originally designed for the ground crew of the USAAF, this jacket also found its way into aviation. The D1 is very light and has a simple design that can withstand extreme weather conditions.
Following the adoption of the B-3 Flight Jacket from which is takes many design cues, the sheepskin TYPE C-3 Vest was introduced in an unofficial capacity to the USAAF in 1936 as a layering piece to compliment the Flight Jackets in use at the time.
