Every Thurston Bros custom jacket order includes the use of a fit jacket and a professional fit consultation.  Fit consultation includes chest circumference evaluation as well as shoulder width and waist circumference recommendations.  Additionally, the fit jacket is used to determine custom body and sleeve lengths.  All fit recommendations are based on using the fit jacket as a measuring tool for the custom build.  Please keep in mind that three customers with the same body measurements will choose three different sizes in the same style (one chooses a tight fit, another prefers a regular fit and the third wants a roomier fit).  The fit jacket consultation makes it easy for each customer to get the fit and lengths they desire!

 

The Type B-3 was standardized on May 29th 1933, and remained virtually unaltered until its discontinuation in 1943.

This heavy duty Arctic issue jacket has untanned Shearling Sheepskin exterior with extra strong Horsehide sleeve and seam overlays for extra protection, single map pocket on the right hand side and heavy leather straps with 3-way stud collar closure for use in foul weather to enable the jacket to provide added protection to the lower part of the face.

Aero Leather Clothing uses the correct B-3 weight heavy Shearling Sheepskin with extra strong Horsehide sleeve and seam overlays for extra protection, and single map pocket on the right hand side. It has heavy leather straps with three-way stud collar closure for use in foul weather which enables the jacket to provide added protection to the lower part of the face. Aero also uses the spec weight, shorter shearling for the cuffs, waistbands and wind flap.  All versions use a Triple Marked Talon zipper on wide herringbone tape, alloy buckles recast from originals, just as it was back then!
