WTAPS B 15A Jacket

 

Military apparel design has always paid close attention to functionality, and the predecessor of this B-15A jacket was the B-10 jacket. In 1945, the cotton-made B-10 was upgraded by utilizing nylon twill on its exterior, thus the heavy duty flight jacket we see here was born. WTAPS took the rugged flight jacket blue print and implemented modern details, while keeping original details for a convincing military aesthetic. The detachable boa collar was added to the jacket, and it can be removed easily by unbuttoning it at the base of the high collar. This jacket boasts a Made in Japan quality and is available through HAVEN in Canada.
