Civilian B-15, probably from the 50s. You can tell a civvy from an actual Air Force issue item from the lack of stud fastenings on the pockets and the zipper being placed in the centre of the jacket rather than offset.

Yep, that one is a real one.

I’m pretty chuffed as I bagged this beauty yesterday:

Think I got lucky on an early morning Ebay trawl, wasn’t dirt cheap at £390, but it’s a size 42 so fits a treat and is in fantastic condition. These turn up on US eBay quite frequently but are a lot harder to come by in the U.K. and those that do seem to be small sizes or poor condition.
