Surprise find at home - old Alpha B-15 Korean era flightjacket from the early 90ies

[Griffon_301]

During a visit at my parents home, my father told me he had found an old green flight jacket amongst my old things that I left back at my parents home when I moved to Vienna.
It turned out it's an old (from around 1994) Alpha B-15 nylon flight jacket in sage green.
It still fits but I am unsure if I want to keep it.
If someone is interested,.please lete know, we can surely work out a deal...pictures to follow if there is interest...

If this is the Alpha that I think of, then this is not bad repro (closer to D-version), there should be Scovill zippers.
In any case, it will be interesting to look at the photos.

Here are some pictures....if anyone is interested, let me know...I will offer it cheaply as I want to see it off into caring hands, if possible to someone from here

Thank you, I thought you has an earlier version of them.
With the Ideal zips not interested, I saw such jackets here. Not qute correct shade of green compared to the original and a number of simplifications in the cut.
In any case, good luck with the sale.

Ah no problem....I did not even know that I still have this jacket so I thought I'd post about it here and see if there is someone interested in it...

I love M65, and I have a lot of originals.
However, the Ideal zips was never used on the original B-15.
