I picked up this nice B-15 recently. It was manufactured by Bobrich in 1944 and although it's a 34 it's sized like a 38 so fits me spot on. What's unusual about it is that it's made of a nylon/cotton blend. It must be what is known as 'Endzone twill' and it is of a heavier construction than the pure cotton B-15's. I thought at first that the zipper was a replacement because of the black tape but after examining the stitching, I'm positive that it's original. Another thing I hadn't seen before are the cord lined outer pockets. It's in really nice shape with some wear to the lower sleeves but these have been professionally repaired. The AAF decals are present on the left arm and inside the windflap but are very faint. There is an inspectors stamp inside one of the inner pockets. The mouton collar is perfect and all the knits are original with very little wear
