Any love for the 1950s US Air Force Type B-15C Flight Jacket?

I see Bronson has a B-15C on its site. I personally like the look of this and was thinking of getting one.

Has anyone on the forum got one? Have you any thoughts etc?

I have one and it’s great; very warm too. Excellent materials, only the zipper could be better (still solid btw); the fit is spot on (I wish I could say the same about Bronson’s jeans).
Very much recommend

Are the actual measurements the same as in the Bronson website? Thanks!

I have the MA-1, that's basically the same jacket without fur collar, it's nice, warm (inner filler 60% wool), and for the price is a good deal

Yes, with other garments some measurements (usually length) can change a bit, with jackets I always found their size charts to be perfectly spot on.

I prefer the B-15C(mod), got quite a few both in olive and blue from BR.
Would like to try a Bronson as they are dirt cheap compared with BR, but there is no way I can justify yet another purchase.
My feeling is that a Bronson will be longer in the back than a similarly sized Buzz, making the Bronson more comfy to wear.
