In order to respond to the rapidly changing era, numerous improvements were made to the B-15, which consequently led to the creation of many variations. The origin of the B-15 series. Just nine months earlier, its predecessor, the “B-10,” had appeared, and the B-15 was launched with improvements in comfort and functionality. The materials themselves were the same as the B-10, such as the olive drab gabardine and alpaca wool lining. A distinctive feature was the right-side offset zipper that enhanced wind resistance. There were many models of the B-15 from A to D, and these variations are collectively called the “B-15 series.” Starting with the B-15C model, the zipper moved from being offset to being centered.
