Cheers @Brettafett! Didn't even know they did A2s and M422as until now. Interesting, although the Avi stuff seems like it would be a better bet at those prices.
Cheers! It’s the standard B-15 Rough Wear...this is the one made of the End Zone twill. Very nice fabric it is too.
The B-15A they make is NOS fabric, and was slightly heavier and a darker shade of green in person. Both lovely jackets.
Cheers! I did try a 44 and it fit me surprisingly well, but the 46 was the better choice.
Yes...I suspect that too regarding the G1! Just to to offload my Bill Kelso M422 before I can (shameless plug!).
Yesterday I decided to take a day out and travel down to London to visit the Eastman pop up shop which is currently on in Shoreditch. I'd been after one of their B-15s for a while, but I was fully expecting to have order custom order a long size. At the very least, the trip would be worth it to...
No worries! Thank you for such a good sale too. It was only very marginally too big for me - just a little too loose around the waist. A superb jacket though - very nicely made indeed.
If you've got either an Eastman G1 or M422a in a size 46R, send me a PM. I'm located in the UK.
Tried on a 46R at the pop up shop today and it fit perfectly, so just looking to see if anybody has one out there they're looking to move on!
Thanks!
Hi all,
I just received this amazing Bill Kelso M422 I purchased off another member on here...it's a superb jacket, but is (frustratingly) fractionally too big for me. I flip flop between a 44 and 46 in certain jackets - I have a 44.75 inch chest - and this is probably best suited to someone...
I keep my B6 in a glass case. In about three or four years, I may have an epiphany like you and touch it. Who knows, five years after that, I may even put it on!
Great jacket! It looks superb. Welcome to the Star Sportswear club, here's mine! :) I'm heading down to the shop on Wednesday, so hopefully there will be some good stuff left!
I have a feeling that's @dubpynchon's jacket (sadly too small for me, I'd definitely need a 46), but do you have a link? I can never seem to find the classifieds on VLJF...feel like I'm missing something here!
Has anybody ever bought anything from this company? They have a big eBay presence as well as selling via their own website. They sell a lot of replica uniforms and equipment, with a couple of US flight jackets thrown into the mix.
Not much info on them around here...the products are apparently...
Bump, still looking. Definitely would need a size 46.
Don't mind which variant of the jacket this is, B-15 or B-15A is fine by me.
Hit me with a PM if you have anything of interest!
