Made in France, where Lee Trevor was producing handmade leather outerwear at a time when reproduction flight jackets were still built with proper weight and purpose. The form follows the original military pattern closely, with a functional, well-balanced silhouette and a clear emphasis on material and construction.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003eThe jacket carries the full contract stencil to the right chest — PROJ. NO-92660R \/ U.S. ARMY B-26-C- \/ AIR FORCES SERIAL — reproduced from wartime examples and sitting cleanly within the design. Details remain consistent with the pattern, including a bi-swing back for movement, epaulettes to both shoulders, a zip-fastened chest pocket, and two large bellows pockets at the lower front. The double-grommet tab above the stencil is also present, in line with the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1561\"\u003eLee Trevor operated out of France alongside a small number of makers producing serious reproductions for a knowledgeable market. These jackets were made with attention to material and longevity rather than volume, and this example reflects that approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003eThe cowhide is dense and substantial, with a firm handle that has softened gradually through wear. The surface carries a developed patina, with subtle tonal variation across areas of contact, giving the jacket depth without appearing overworked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"2104\"\u003eHardware is correct to the period. The main front zip retains its function, with a replaced pull fitted during its life. The right cuff ribbing carries a previous repair, neatly stitched and holding well. Both sit naturally within the life of the jacket and do not affect its structure or wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2232\"\u003eThe interior is finished in a quilted black lining, clean and intact throughout, supporting the structure without excess bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2234\" data-end=\"2484\"\u003eThe jacket presents in very good overall condition. The leather remains strong and supple, with no signs of cracking or structural weakness. All seams are secure, the waistband retains its elasticity, and both zips run cleanly. It wears as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2486\" data-end=\"2635\"\u003eProfessionally cleaned and lightly conditioned in the workshop, handled with restraint to preserve the original surface and character of the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2637\" data-end=\"2793\"\u003eA well-made reproduction from a period when these were produced with proper material and intent, now carrying the kind of character that only time produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2348\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"m039v\" data-start=\"2350\" data-end=\"2365\"\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2367\" data-end=\"2908\"\u003e• Late 1980s Lee Trevor USAAF B-26 reproduction flight jacket\u003cbr data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2431\"\u003e• Original contract stencil to chest\u003cbr data-start=\"2467\" data-end=\"2470\"\u003e• Heavy brown cowhide with developed natural patina\u003cbr data-start=\"2521\" data-end=\"2524\"\u003e• Bi-swing action back\u003cbr data-start=\"2546\" data-end=\"2549\"\u003e• Epaulettes to both shoulders\u003cbr data-start=\"2579\" data-end=\"2582\"\u003e• Brass front zipper (pull replaced)\u003cbr data-start=\"2618\" data-end=\"2621\"\u003e• Zip chest pocket, left breast\u003cbr data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"2655\"\u003e• Two large bellows pockets with flaps\u003cbr data-start=\"2693\" data-end=\"2696\"\u003e• Double-grommet chest tab\u003cbr data-start=\"2722\" data-end=\"2725\"\u003e• Leather-covered elasticated waistband\u003cbr data-start=\"2801\" data-end=\"2804\"\u003e• Quilted black interior lining\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2910\" data-end=\"2913\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"17zg2ap\" data-start=\"2915\" data-end=\"2943\"\u003eMeasurements (Laid Flat)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2945\" data-end=\"3133\"\u003e• Chest (armpit to armpit): 23.5\"\u003cbr data-start=\"2975\" data-end=\"2978\"\u003e• Shoulders (seam to seam): 21\"\u003cbr data-start=\"3008\" data-end=\"3011\"\u003e• Sleeve length (underarm to cuff): 17\"\u003cbr data-start=\"3049\" data-end=\"3052\"\u003e• Sleeve length (shoulder to cuff): 23\"\u003cbr data-start=\"3090\" data-end=\"3093\"\u003e• Back length (collar seam to hem): 24\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-test-render-count=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contents\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-is-streaming=\"false\" class=\"group relative relative pb-[var(--msg-assistant-pb,0.75rem)]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-claude-response relative leading-[1.65rem] [\u0026amp;_pre\u0026gt;div]:bg-bg-000\/50 [\u0026amp;_pre\u0026gt;div]:border-0.5 [\u0026amp;_pre\u0026gt;div]:border-border-400 [\u0026amp;_.ignore-pre-bg\u0026gt;div]:bg-transparent [\u0026amp;_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [\u0026amp;_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [\u0026amp;_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [\u0026amp;_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3 standard-markdown\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePlease note this jacket is labelled large but fits closer to a modern medium.
