    Eastman's RAF 1942

    There is a solution, buy some Kiwi clear wax shine. It's a type of clear acrylic wax liquid that dries in minutes. The jacket will be transformed I promise.

    Eastman's RAF 1942

    Most if not all the photos on the ELC website are months/years out of date. Batches of skins vary widely and some of the new skins are the same as those used years ago. The change was made because people disliked the dry dull character of the sheepskin. The B-3 50 Cal. photo shows a dull dry...

    F/S Mint/Nos Eastman B-3 merino sheepskin size 44

    Size 44 Eastman B-3 in Merino sheepskin, unworn/as new condition. This jacket was made in the early 1990's and is in mint condition with no apparent wear or odours. These early jackets are very easy and comfortable to wear as the sheepskins are so soft and warm. The wool is curly and golden...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Postage costs to the US are very high and deter many potential buyers. A jacket like this will cost about £95 Global Priority. Add this to the risk or it being returned and re-imported with fees duty and taxes, it's just too risky.

    I would like to know more about where Will and Amanda have gone. It would be a shame to see them disappear after all the years I have known them.

    Aero Radjacke for sale 44

    This shows how the jacket just sits on the waistband of my jeans. As I said earlier, this is a design based on a jacket from the 1930's. They were short M/C jackets designed to be worn with leather trousers. The prototype that was made was about 2 inches longer. It was rejected as it just...

    F/S Early Eastman RAF jacket size 44

    This is a solid robust very early Eastman jacket made in the 1980's. Unlike some others the surface coating looks more like tanned leather than a top coating. As a result any areas of wear look like that on horsehide. There are areas of wear but not of flaking, the cuffs are also unworn apart...
