buzz rickson's | br15325 type b-10 “rough wear clothing co.”
the type b-10 is a fabric flight jacket for use in moderate temperatures (+10°c to -10°c), adopted by the u.s. army air corps in july 1943 as an alternative to leather flight jackets. during world war 2, the u.s. army, suffering from a sudden shortage of leather, reviewed the sewing aspect and productivity, and developed a flight jacket made of cotton twill, which could be mass-produced. the lining was made of alpaca duck hair wool pile, which was less bulky than sheepskin and had the advantage of being lightweight and having high warmth retention. due to these characteristics, it was not only very popular with pilots, but with all branches of the u.s. forces during world war 2.
