Hi all,
I picked this one up in the hope that it may have been a B-15c Mod as the photo's were poor, but it turns out to be a first contact Lion Uniform MA-1 from around 1954-55 period that has been re-dyed blue. The jacket itself is in great condition Knits and crown zippers are perfect and the USAF logo on the arm is not faded, so its never been dry-cleaned. I suspect it was dyed blue early in its life and the colour is pretty spot on, not much different to my N-2a. It also fits perfectly and I will use it as a regular wearer, plus my wife prefers the blue. Here are a few shots along with some of originals (undyed)!
All the best
