Hi all,
I have recently purchased a supposedly 8-year old "new" B-15 jacket from an ebay seller. Received the jacket today. The quality feels solid and the condition is indeed new. However, I observe a few things that make me wonder about its authenticity or maybe I'm too inexperienced to have seen the older BR jackets:
1. The cotton shell has a khaki-brownish color that I have not seen on BR B-15 jackets. Could it be an old dead stock design?
2. No Army Air Force stencils on the flap...
