Jackets Bomber B3 WWII Sheepskin Edition Supermarine Spitfire
Edition USAAF (US Army Air Forces) & Edition RAF (Royal Air Force)
Brought into service around 1934 and it was firm favorite among bomber crews during WWII, the sturdy B3 bomber jacket was originally designed for both open cockpit and high altitude flying in the 1930s.
This famous B-3 “Bomber Edition Supermarine Spitfire” model was the top undisputed choice by airplanes F4U Corsair, P-40, P-51 Mustang, Hurricane and Spitfire pilots, also of all the bombardier crews during World War II. This jacket gave warmth to pilots during their missions in the European skies.
The Bomber B-3 Flight Jacket still has all of the little important details that help make it a masterpiece of authenticity. Details synonymous with the pedigree of historical accuracy found in the goods we offer.
The jacket is handmade cut and sewn, using best top-quality Italian leather, chosen by its texture, thickness and warmth. Our Nappa leather soft outer skin in color Grey & Brown is specially treated to make it even more resistant to water, gasoline, oil and dirt.
The jacket retains all the original features of our standard B-3. Please note that the shearling is tanned to “antique” as you wear it, giving “highs and lows” in the color so it looks as if you had this jacket since WWII. This will not affect the durability of this product.
Today, more than 75 years from conception, this classic B-3 Lessy Aviator® jackets with vintage look is still in high demand for special collectors.

I purchased this jacket 24/01/2021 and cannot be more pleased. I had been conversing with Jose Manuel and this man is very professional and courteous. I had been looking for a Bomber B-3 for a long time and Lessy Aviator didn’t disappoint. The Synthetic Sheepskin inside is plush and supple super High quality. I decided to buy this jacket for being allergic to animal hair. The leather is tough and weathered just perfectly. This will be my final winter coat. It looks amazing and everywhere I turn its all eyes on me. I dont like a lot of attention but if you do this coat will be a WINNER! You will stand out in a crowd for SURE!! Thanks Jose Manuel !!

Very nice jacket for the money. Leather is slightly thin but it kept me warm in an open Jeep in 48 degree weather. Love the detachable fur collar and the pleated back of the shoulders, they really help the fit. Arms are a bit short but not too short. Side hand pockets are small but I can get my hands into them. If everything was perfect this jacket would cost 3 times as much. I recommend it!

I have just received my jacket “Edition Supermarine Spitfire” in Chicago !! It’s absolutely mindblowingly beautiful, I have never seen anything comparable to this.
It also fits perfectly, the measurements were accurate – I asked a friend to take my measurements and I sent them by email to Lessy Aviator and they gave me two possible sizes, a regular fit (XL), and a more ample one (2XL), so I went for (2XL), as I am quite tall (190 cm) and I wanted my waist to be covered fully as I bike a lot in cold weather. I never bought a jacket like this, without trying, and it is just perfect.
I’m very happy, even if the customs duties were 150 USD :DDDD
It is very cold now in Chicago, so I immediately tested the jacket while I rode my bike back home tonight.
I have shown the jacket to two of my friends, they also tried them on, and were very impressed, they also said they would get one in future!
I am really happy, I expected it to be beautiful, but this has surpassed all my expectations. This is truly a piece of art! I have one leather shearling jacket made of lamb fur by Hugo Boss (a tailored one), but this one is superior in quality and the price is also better. Bill O’Brien (Chicago – USA)

Hi, everybody! If you decided to buy goods from this seller, can not doubt! The jacket came to Russia in 9-10 days. The seller helped to be verified with a size! As a result it is sewed as on me, I took Size L with a growth 187 and the volume of a breast of without clothes of 110 cm. I’m very happy. Toby
