IHSB-B3-YEL - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Type B-3 Flight Jacket - Vintage Yellow

An iconic piece of military history, the Type B-3 flying jacket was first introduced in 1934 and worn by the USAAF until May 1943, when it was superseded by the ANJ-4. This reinterpretation of the B-3 bomber is a collaboration between Iron Heart and Simmons Bilt, made from 15mm shearling sheepskin leather and finished with oiled steer hide trims and reinforced seams for durability.

Handmade in Scotland, the jacket stays true to the original design with features such as buckle-fastening cinches and double collar straps. Subtle upgrades, including a heavy-duty two-way zipper and an additional map pocket, have been added to enhance functionality and versatility. Finished in a vintage yellow colourway with brass hardware, this distinctive take on the classic B-3 design combines authenticity, striking style, and exceptional warmth, thanks to the 15mm wool fleece lining throughout. Please note that you may notice subtle indentations in the collar fleece. These are caused by the stitching of the collar straps into the sheepskin and are not defects in the fleece.

Rudi looking spectacular in this. Some of my favourite shots taken recently, this jacket is extremely photogenic. I know you agree.

Ugh, this thing is hideous.

[GandalftheGray]

Do you recommend going up in size twice ? I’m almost always an XL in IH but these measurements seem pretty small

[GandalftheGray]

Damn my size sold out as I was contemplating.. Any chance XXL will restock soon ?

[GandalftheGray]

@Mister_Brue yea apparently so, I’m tempted to bite the bullet and take an XL as it’s my UHF size but these measurements seem to be running very small. Maybe it’s just me tho ?

[Alex]

No plans to restock this year - we just made what we could from the skins before Christmas

[GandalftheGray]

Had to grab the last XL, would’ve had great fomo missing out on this beaut. Stayed with my regular UHF size which is cutting it close but wasn’t really planning on wearing this with a thick layer underneath anyway.

[Subprime]

@GandalftheGray Right on! Post some fit pics if you have a chance, excited to see. I'd have loved to pick up one but It wouldn't get the wear it deserves.

@Mister_Brue said in IHSB-B3-YEL - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Type B-3 Flight Jacket - Vintage Yellow:

@Alex Without wishing to sound like a bore, is this jacket something I should try to forget about, or are there any plans for further production (anytime, not necessarily imminently)?

Thanks again.

Based on how well it sold, we may well look to rerun it, however December is later than we would have liked to recieve a shearling delivery, and early new year is even later, so if we do, it would be later next year.

[GandalftheGray]

Jacket just landed and it is a beaut as expected. I’m glad I sized up a few sizes because while the shearling fur is thick the measurements were pretty small. I’d post a fit pic but on crutches atm and don’t want that image available lol.
