The most functional jacket in the Cockpit USA collection, here’s why!

Modeled after the mil spec issued textile B-15 jacket that was first introduced in 1944 to WWII Army Air Force pilots and aircrew, this Cockpit USA luxe deer tanned calfskin version is an impressive take on the original.

Cockpit USA’s B-15 Leather Flight Jacket includes a removable fur collar, a sleeve pen/pencil pocket and a removable zip-out poly-fill quilted vest liner for additional warmth that can be worn separately. This jacket also includes side entry pockets with a snap closure for easier access while flying.

Featured above on Photographer, Linus Zutterland , the Leather B-15 is an impressive take on the original but is also a true multi-season bomber that can be worn casually for outdoor adventures or over a suit for a more professional look as shown on Matthew Sonak.

 

Our Cockpit USA leather jackets have been made to age and distress overtime. “The B-15 Flight Jacket is one of my most used leather jackets because it’s just super versatile. Crazy how much it changes in both appearance and functionality by removing the mouton collar and vest liner”, says Linus Zutterland.

We’re often asked how to treat or take care of a leather jacket. We recommend allowing your jacket to distress naturally. Should the leather become stiff or discolored we suggest testing a natural product like Leather Milk (featured below) on a non-visible piece of leather to see how the product alters the appearance of the leather. Once satisfied, you can apply the rest of the product to the visible parts of the jacket.

The B-15 Leather Bomber jacket is a unique style that can be worn all year long. Available in both black and brown colors, this jacket is proudly manufactured in the USA. Shop our collection of B-15 jackets today!
