Yep - sorry for not making that clearer.

Internal pockets?

They do not

sorry, newbie question (possibly answered a million times):
what‘s the difference between a tanker and a bomber jacket?
(except for the obvious, collar and fabric)

[Giles]

All I know is one was designed to be worn in planes, the other tanks…..

[endo]

  obvious 
but no differences in cut?

[Giles]

As I said, that's all I know

I am sure there are some people out there who know a lot more than I do about arcane military things…

[endo]

sure, thanks @Giles

A good resource on the history of the tanker jacket:

https://olive-drab.com/od_soldiers_clothing_combat_ww2_jacket_combat_winter.php

Bomber jacket is more of a generic (occasionally misused) term. The original bomber jacket was actually the B-3:

What you may be thinking of is the MA-1 flight jacket:

The key differences between this and the tanker is the zipper pocket high on the arm, the buttoned pockets (originally with flaps) and the fact that the MA-1 is normally made of nylon or some other water resistant synthetic. They were a more recent development than the tanker jacket.

[endo]

that's a very interesting source, thank you @neph93 !

after all the tanker jacket really seems to be 'a highly satisfactory item' (as Maj. Gen. White put it), making me looking forward to the IH version.

and you were right, regarding the bomber jacket I was more thinking of the MA-1, which must have been also what Haraki san had in mind when he created the upcoming.

this forum is so educational …

Haraki-san’s tanker has been done in a number of different versions, all have the same design as this one, in terms of collar, cuffs, pockets and cut, but they have been done in different colours and with and without lining. This one just happens to be green. The black blanket lined version from a few years ago, with brown waist, cuffs and collar was a beauty. To my knowledge he has never done an MA-1.

Great tune btw

sorry, my fault. I meant the upcoming bomber jacket (IHJ-98) resembles more the MA-1 than B-3.

I get you! Except the IHJ-98 is a tanker jacket, not a bomber jacket [emoji1]

[endo]

you are the sublime master of IH knowledge, @neph93, 
but is not the IHJ-96 that's the tanker and the IHJ-98 that's the bomber … ?
