The "Mitchel" Brown B-3 Bomber | Heritage Aviator Edition | Full Grain Apparel
The Ultimate Standard in Flight History
The "Mitchel" Brown B-3 Bomber from Full Grain Apparel is a tribute to the legendary "Flying Fortress" crews of the 1940s. Named after the historic bombers that defined an era, the Mitchel is built for the man who demands authentic, vintage character without sacrificing modern comfort. This is a heavy-duty, lifetime garment designed to age beautifully, becoming more supple and storied with every winter it faces.
Authentic Double-Faced Sheepskin Construction
At Full Grain Apparel, we don't believe in imitations. The Mitchel is crafted using Genuine Double-Faced Sheepskin, providing an organic thermal barrier that synthetic materials simply cannot match:
-
Distressed "Canyon Brown" Exterior: The outer leather features a hand-burnished finish, giving it a rich, multidimensional chestnut tone that looks like a well-preserved heirloom from day one. It is naturally windproof and water-repellent.
-
Plush "Antique Cream" Wool Interior: The inner surface is thick, unbleached natural wool. This high-loft pile traps body heat efficiently, keeping you warm in temperatures as low as $-20$°C while remaining naturally breathable.
-
Structural Integrity: Because the leather and wool are one single piece of hide, the jacket offers superior durability and a substantial weight that signals quality.
Master-Tailored Features & Hardware
The Mitchel stays true to military specifications while refining the fit for a contemporary masculine silhouette:
-
Dual-Strap Shearling Collar: Features two heavy-duty leather throat latches with antique brass buckles. Flip the collar up to seal out the wind and create a full-face thermal barrier.
-
Reinforced Cowhide Piping: Every seam is bound with genuine dark brown leather strips, a hallmark of the original B-3 design that ensures the jacket maintains its shape and blocks wind at the stitching points.
-
Industrial Antique Brass YKK Zippers: Outfitted with oversized, rugged brass hardware that provides a warm metallic contrast to the deep brown leather and cream wool.
-
Adjustable Side-Waist Belts: Features signature buckled straps at the hips, allowing you to customize the fit and lock in rising body heat.
-
Sheepskin-Lined Welt Pockets: Deep, slanted hand pockets lined with soft wool to provide instant warmth for your hands in sub-zero conditions.
