Hallo everybody. I am Alexis Vidal.

I would like to buy a USAAF WW2 B3. It most to be mostly original copy possible.

Wo still produces the original copy of Americans ww2 B3 Jacke?

La crème de la creme I’d say is Good Wear Leather, as you can a recent thread, they’re currently offering this beautiful RW B-3:

Otherwise, you can check out Eastman, at the bottom of the list from the link down below you can see their original maker repro B-3s:

Beware, they are the best that money can buy, hence they are expensive!

If you are on a budget there are other options…

Although not a B3 owner personally I concur that Goodwear and Eastman are likely the best. Goodwear incidentally normally makes to order with a lengthy wait time, much reduced by virtually off the rack for an Eastman, who incidentally have a classified advert section on their website where you might be able to pick up a used but normally great condition one, or maybe eBay dare I say! Aeroleather Scotland is another option worth considering too. Check out the ‘Reviews’ page here on VLG for comparison of the best GW vs ELC!!
