Custom-Made B-3 Mouton Flight Jacket, 8th AAF “Heavenly Body” Pin-Up Back Paint, Size L

A custom-made vintage B-3 in mouton, the heavy sheepskin bomber jacket of high-altitude American aircrews, painted on the back with a “Heavenly Body” pin-up girl and 8th AAF references. It brings nose-art culture to one of the most imposing silhouettes in flight clothing.

The Piece

The B-3 was the shearling bomber jacket worn by U.S. Army Air Forces crews against the cold of high-altitude flight. This custom-made vintage example in mouton takes up the 8th AAF theme, with back-painted pin-up girl artwork titled “Heavenly Body” in the spirit of wartime aircraft nose art.
