    Eastman Raf Irvin jacket

    I understand that in most of Europe sheepskin is classified as toxic waste and has no commercial value.

    WANTED Buzz Rickson's B-2

    Yes, second hand from Japan. I have worn it several times recently in the colder weather but will opt for sheepskin when it gets very cold. B-2's are more of a mid-weight jacket but do have a great collar.

    wanted Cockpit Southampton RAF jacket

    Thanks Van,good idea ! They have very long arms, awful zips and small collar. The early version I am looking for was labelled The Flyer or The Aviators jacket. Later versions with pockets are very poor.

    Chapal brand jackets, anyone?

    It must be The Bull hide that makes it so expensive.. I have owned them and seen them in the flesh and I repeat that they are no better or worse than Aero or Eastman Real McCoys or Goodwear. Chapal work closely with the Paris fashion houses and have a shop on the Champs Elysees. That is where...

    Chapal brand jackets, anyone?

    The B-3 I bought had veg. tanned sheep leather (cape ?) on the arms rather than hh. I have heard of goatskin trim but never sheep leather. If Grand Prix Racewear still exists you might be able to see the jackets there.

    Chapal brand jackets, anyone?

    Thanks,that's the one I got from Japan, the early version made from very heavy hh and the buckled collar and plain pocket. It's the best B-2 I have owned so far and I prefer it to my Few jacket. I hope the zip can be replaced. Why oh why do they glue them in ?????

    Chapal brand jackets, anyone?

    I bought one of their B-3's before Eurofication (?) It only cost me £350 which was comparable to ELC prices at the time. They suddenly went up in price by about 40% and have been climbing to silly money ever since. Though they invented waterproof leather and supplied the USAAF from their...
