My repro B15A by S&M Wholesale

Here's my B15A by S&M Wholesale (made circa 1997)
I wore this jacket while crewing a 1944 Douglas A26 Invader on ferry-flight from California to Holland in 1998.
(Underneath it, besides a flight suit, also a G&B HH A2!! as it does get cold at 10,000 feet in an old bomber!!)

We actually bought a bunch of these B15A jackets at the time for the flight crew + ground crew (all depicted here)
of our (now defunct) air show display flying team...
Most guys also owned A2's, mostly Coopers who were still in business at the time. Who can spot the mannequin in this picture?
