    Differances between Eastman B3 and Real Mcoys

    Eastman 's tend to have longer cuffs and lighter belt straps than RMNZ which can be 4 mm thick.. RMNZ also have bigger collars and wider arms, they are also much heavier and in a different league quality wise. Eastman's are very nice jackets but they just can't compete with RM but they are...

    about B3 hides

    This is a moot point at the moment as many feel the the current dull papery finishes from Eastman are lifeless. The older jackets have a softer more glossy finish. RMNZ have very nice hides but the demise of Fenland may draw this era to a close. My advice would be to obtain samples and make...

    The falling dollar and leather jacket prices

    The very weak GBP that has helped our exports has made imported jackets very expensive here in the UK. Some items are 30 % more expensive than they were a couple of years ago. The cost of imported skins has also meant that jacket prices have risen considerably. Sheepskin for example has...
