    Fidelity? Café racer 44” brown

    Sorry, mate it’s nothing personal but I don’t trust eBay Global Shipping after several bad experiences ( eg package damaged so undeliverable - £350 jacket), so these days I keep it simple and only post in the UK. I also had issues when using DHL with Thai customs demanding that I pay import duty...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I Don’t think It’s the ‘real’ Lewis Leathers - the logo isn’t correct. I think it’s another maker also called Lewis.

    Knockoffs?

    Also known as ‘genuine fakes’ some come out of the ‘back door’ of the factory during a run of genuine orders while others are made using the same materials and labels a week or so after a genuine order has been fulfilled. These are of course ‘identically similar’ (as my old science teacher used...

    Knockoffs?

    The problem with buying a knock off is that you’ll always know it’s not the real thing. If you trawl eBay, second hand office furniture warehouses, junk and charity shops and the odd antique fair you’ll find the real thing at a reasonable price. There’ll come a time when you’ll find a gem being...

    Aero damage

    I’ve often seen similar but lighter damage on vintage jackets namely cracking on the collar in a line where it touches the neck and cracking on the inside of the cuff. I’m pretty sure this is sweat and or water damage possibly made worse by mould thriving in the damp leather. The leather has...

    When did Eastman change their Luftwaffe label?

    I saw the scruffy one too - It went for more than mine. The item number for mine was 283878439334 And the pics weren’t too flattering - I don’t think the seller knew what he had. My lining is in good condition and so is the hide with the brown showing through in the right places. I’ve just...

    When did Eastman change their Luftwaffe label?

    Ah I wondered about the 3/4 coat with this label I found one on eBay - first time I’ve seen one.

    When did Eastman change their Luftwaffe label?

    Thank you for that - I love this jacket and label too. I saw my first about 13 years ago as I started my collection, with a too small Aero A2 I bought from an antique dealer. Her friend had a stall at a local antique fair and was selling a 44” Eastman Luftwaffe for £300 which I thought was a bit...

    When did Eastman change their Luftwaffe label?

    I’m trying to work out roughly when my latest jacket was made. It’s got the Ostmann Luftwaffe label, shiny zips, pleated back and brown hide overdyed black. It was a bargain at £150 on greedbay UK
