Frequently Asked Questions
How warm is the B-7 Arctic Parka?
The USAAF Type B-7 jacket was specifically designed for extreme cold-weather conditions. With its full faux shearling lining and leather shell, it provides exceptional insulation and is one of the warmest winter jackets you can own.
Is the white leather difficult to keep clean?
White leather requires more care than darker colors. We recommend treating it with a quality leather protector before wear. For cleaning, spot-treat minor stains with a specialized leather cleaner and seek professional cleaning for tougher dirt to maintain its pristine look.
What is the historical origin of the B-7 flight jacket?
The B-7 Arctic Parka was introduced by the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) during the early 1940s for personnel stationed in extremely cold, arctic regions. Due to its high cost, it had a short production run, making original jackets very rare today.
Can this jacket be worn in snow or rain?
The leather exterior offers natural water resistance, making it suitable for light snow. However, it is not fully waterproof. We advise against wearing it in heavy rain to protect the leather and shearling.
