I'm sure this has been asked before but things are quiet around here so I thought I'd ask it again. What jacket would you like in your collection and why ? This is the vintage leather jacket forum so no Repros or nothing like "I'd love an A-2 named to the 379th bomb group". Just jacket types or specific contracts of jackets. My choice is a type B-6 and preferably a redskin. The reason is that I reckon they are the sharpest sheepskin jacket around with many unique features like the epaulettes and side zippers. A number of years ago I owned a perfect redskin B-6. Fantastic condition, triple marked Talons all round, totally wearable, but the darn thing was a size too small, and these are trim fitting jackets so there's no way I could wear it so I had to let it go. I know I'll never find another one but that's what I'd love to own. Here's a photo of the B-6. It looks like it fits OK but it was just too tight. .
