B-11 FLYING JACKET/ FACTORY LEGACY

B-11 FLYING JACKET/ FACTORY LEGACY

This year, GIZEMO presents the classic World War II-era B-11 flight jacket as part of its Factory Legacy series. To us, "authentic reissue" means more than restoring the original contractor's name or simply changing a label—it represents a more rigorous and thorough approach, pursuing not only form but also spirit.

For this authentic reissue of the B-11, we have refined multiple details: the sateen fabric has been softened, and the olive green shade recalibrated to match the original wartime texture. The zipper uses an original-style brass CONMAR—the distinctive No. 5 CONMAR shape—while the arm insignia has been omitted. The pocket fabric has been custom-woven to replicate the original construction. From the current sample, these subtle adjustments achieve just the right balance, nearing the perfection we envision. The embroidered label faithfully reproduces the Ben Greenholtz factory marking, following authentic reissue specifications.
