BUZZ RICKSON'S - B-15C (MOD.) A.F.BLUE - BR14942
BR14942-01-size 36
B-15C (MOD.) A.F.BLUE
- This Type B-15C(MOD.) is a reproduction by "Buzz Rickson's" based on vintage jackets. After World War II, the arrival of jet aircraft forced major adjustments including flight jackets. The most significant change in aviation equipment was the introduction of hard helmets to protect the pilot's head from the vibrations of the aircraft, but the larger headgear resulted in misfit with the flight jacket with large mouton collar. To solve this problem, the B-15 series were produced in a "Modified" (MOD.) model with a modified collar. This update involved removing the mouton collar from the body and reattaching a wool rib knit. This collar could not be attached without first reversing the body so the waist-rib in the back was temporarily removed. As a result, the collar and hem show signs of being re-sewn. This modification was often seen on the A, B, C, and D of The B-15 series, which had a new white label attached certifying that the jackets had been officially modified. It is generally misunderstood that each type was developed and then modified in turn, but this was not the case. A, B, C, and D of the B-15 series, which had become old style, were all modified at once according to the technical order instructions issued in 1956.
