Chaqueta de vuelo B-3 personalizada de borreguillo de Buzz Rickson's, arte trasero pin-up “Target for Tonight”, estilo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, talla 38

A heavyweight Buzz Rickson's B-3 that turns bomber-crew visual language into theater. A blonde pin-up in motion, an electric blue field and rows of bomb tallies ride across the back of a shearling body built for altitude, giving the jacket presence as both apparel and display.

The Piece

This custom B-3 flight jacket by Buzz Rickson's is executed in heavyweight shearling and finished with a vividly hand-rendered back composition titled “Target for Tonight.” A dynamic blonde pin-up figure in motion is set against a saturated electric blue circular field, with bold script lettering above and rows of bomb tally markings beneath that echo the visual language of WWII bomber crews.

Where A-2 examples tend toward restraint, this B-3 operates on a heightened visual register. The blue halo makes the image explosive and the typography is showmanship rather than military reserve; the art dominates as the hero element, with minimal interruption at the front, so the jacket is designed to be seen from behind first.

The B-3 base is a historically grounded Buzz Rickson's reproduction with heavy-duty seam construction and a functional wartime silhouette: thick insulating shearling, a heavy, almost armor-like structure with less drape and more presence, built for altitude. On shearling the paint ages differently than on an A-2, settling slightly unevenly into the grain like a mural on a curved wall, and the jacket's bulk amplifies the artwork.

It suits stylists, fashion-forward collectors, display collectors and anyone seeking a statement piece.
