    Fs: Eastman Ostmann/Luffwaffe

    hmm. might be cutting it close then. I'm a 44R and it's perfect. That fit pic is at a very slightly upward angle, but the belt line on the jacket is basically exactly where i'd want it to be with normal, non-high rise modern pants. I don't think i'd worry about the sleeves though. They're...

    AeroFan, what size are your suit jackets? If you're usually a 44, I think you will probably be good with this one. If your suit jackets are 46, definitely will be too small though

    Fs: Eastman Ostmann/Luffwaffe

    Sounds like your top half is. I'm built like an otter lol. My dress shirts are mostly the athletic cut brooks brothers shirts, 16-34. Also. Jacket back length is 25 on the nose. My weight varies without my size changing much because lucky for me when I gain weight it gets put on pretty evenly...

    crap i forgot to measure the back. Also, it's weird, most of my jackets are 26" sleeves. Something about the shoulder measurements on this one, the cuffs fall in about the same spot

    Fs: Eastman Ostmann/Luffwaffe

    Size 44, black. Possibly the most beautiful jacket I own, but I'm a cross zip guy so this one never gets worn. Has the old school Luftwaffe label, very gently worn, excellent condition. $850 shipped in the continental USA

    Backpacks - need some ideas...

    If we're discussing options besides Filson, I'll throw 3 of my favorites into the ring: https://www.hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/3 - Hill People Gear's Umlindi and Aston House Back Country packs would probably cover the same use cases that you'd be considering the Filson for. I've...

    Is this patina or something sinister

    I just noticed OP's jacket isn't Liberty HH, it's veggie tanned goat. Not sure what the intended "quickness to show patina" is from BK on that one. I believe, in general, compared to some hides, goat is supposed to take a lot longer to start showing patina though. So, interesting the OP's is...

    Is this patina or something sinister

    To echo Jmax's post, the Pegasus jackets I owned in the hh they used before they switched to Shinki wore similarly. Very fast/quick to show wear, and the wear basically manifested as the topcoat "chipping" off in spots. It was like, my eyeballs would cause the topcoat to chip. BK's Liberty...

    Lost worlds Horsehide trench coat

    Last time I spoke to Kevin at Pegasus, I was informed they had switched to Shinki, which I suspect is also why their prices went up a smidge. I loved the first Pegasus D Pocket I had but hated how rapidly the hide wore, but when I found out they switched, planned to place an order as soon as...

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    Going along in the direction of Maarc mndt's "what if" and Navetsea's answer- What if we change Superfluous's question of "If and when we receive a flawed jacket, should we contact the manufacturer and allow him an opportunity to remedy the error before we go public with our dissatisfaction...

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    I think it's two separate topics that need to remain separate, regardless of the jacket owner's decision. Basically, we're looking at 1. talking about Quality Control, and 2. talking about Customer Service wrt fixing the quality control shortcoming. I'm not 100 percent sure where I stand on...

    FS: Thedi Hektor 42-44

    I've gained over the pandemic enough weight where i can't comfortably layer with this jacket , which kind of limits it's usage for me (ordered it in Feb, delivered in August, but didn't start wearing it until October weather kicked in). Looks great with just a t-shirt underneath though lol. The...

    Considering Blouson Jackets

    I've got the Eastman Luftwaffe in black. It's really nice. Quality of manufacture isn't perfect, but still, very, very good. And the hide, hardware, and lining are 1st rate. Super comfortable too. The horsehide on mine is a lot more supple than the hides I'm used to with most of my other...

    WTT: My Eastman 44 Luftwaffe for a Pegasus or Lewis

    yes, but it'd have to be for a price that puts me in spitting distance of buying a new Pegasus or LL, (i.e. north of $1100 USD), and beautiful jacket and condition notwithstanding, I don't think that's realistic for me to expect. At that point, unless you really want the oldschool label mine...

    WTT: My Eastman 44 Luftwaffe for a Pegasus or Lewis

    This is an awful specific want - but I've got a beautiful black horsehide Eastman 44 Luftwaffe in excellent condition that I just haven't been wearing much. I'm more of a crosszip guy. So, looking to swap it for another crosszip. I love Pegasus's designs, but the super quick-wearing leather...

    New LW Leathertogs B

    Cool. Still looks stylish, but definitely looks its best with the zipper at least partially up.
