L’e Marquis Bomber

One day you will have to leave Provence, and it could be cold next stop. These Bomber Jackets will guarantee to keep you warm wherever you are going. Or if you are coming in the winter, you may need one now.

These original Type B-3 World War 2 Bomber Jackets are manufactured to exact Military Specifications. Our manufacturer in the borders of Scotland use the correct B-3 weight heavy Shearling Sheepskin with extra strong Horsehide sleeve and seam overlays for extra protection, single map pocket on the right hand side and heavy leather straps with 3-way stud collar closure for use in foul weather to enable the jacket to provide added protection to the lower part of the face. They also use the spec weight, shorter shearling for the cuffs, waistbands and windflap. All jackets use a Triple Marked Talon zipper on wide herringbone tape, Alloy buckles recast from originals, in fact everything is just as it was back then!

Although the B-3 was discontinued by the USAAF on the 23rd of May 1943, these jackets are still made to the identical original specification and standards as the WW2 Army Air Corps garments, many of which are still going strong after nearly 70 years of wear, and our current jacket should give an equal length of service.

The jackets are made to order and can be delivered from our manufacturers in Scotland to anywhere in the world. Normally delivery can be made within six weeks. Stay warm where you are going.

With each order we will also include a Bomber Bear Q: these are limited edition Bears.

All purchases of Bomber jackets also qualify for BEARMILES.

Ibo Maraca in Provence

Hand painted hats and bags by distinguished artists

Elegant, artistic, and quality craftsmanship – Ibo-Maraca is known for premium handcrafted Panama hats. The intricate hand paintings, the classic silhouette, the quality of a straw – everything is created with the individuality and lifestyles of those who are always looking to wear something unique in mind.

The name of the brand is an anagram of the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo, which is the birthplace of Effie Vakaki, one of Ibo-Maracas founders. Born in Venezuela and raised in Greece, and inspired by her exotic roots and the vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean, Effie set off to create a brand that combines classic with contemporary style. In 2014, Effie and her daughter Christina founded Ibo-Maraca and dedicated themselves to the creation of high quality hats.

The hats are handmade in Ecuador, home of Toquilla straw, which is the primary material used during the production process. Crafted meticulously and with a passion for detail, the hat weaving process can take up to 8 hours. Once woven, each piece is hand-painted by renowned Greek artists, who create unique illustrations. Our signature new hat shape is exclusively designed for Ibo-Maraca, one more unique feature of our brand.

This rare result is a combination of artists’ craftsmanship, along with Effie’s and Christina’s inspiration, which has derived from travelling around the world, collecting beautiful images and memories. This collaboration is what makes an Ibo-Maraca hat a unique piece of art. Elegance and attention to detail are the brand’s essence.

“All of our senses are released through designs in cooperation with our famous painters.”

All purchases of these beautiful hats made through L’e Marquis qualify for BEARMILES.
