    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Agree about the leather, zips and pattern. But I have been told personally by the owner of Fenland that they do have a veg. tanning plant solely for use by The Few and Real McCoys.

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Hi Steven, Welcom to the forum. I too cannot understand the dead end Eastman have reversed into, it's all so wrong but the solutions to make a very good jacket are so simple for them if they want to. Change the sheepskin, [the current ones are truly dreadful] have decent repro zips, and...

    Anyone still waiting to receive their ELC roughwear sheepskin jacket

    Ah ... ! The B-3 skins are trimmed to pile depth at the tannery and could have been processed before the B-6 stuff.

    Anyone still waiting to receive their ELC roughwear sheepskin jacket

    The jacket has been cut and will be made next week. Eastman obviously value overseas customers more than their UK regulars. I have spent thousands with them and I am disappointed to say the least ! Having just come off the phone with Alan Eastman, he assured me that he only collected the...

    Anyone still waiting to receive their ELC roughwear sheepskin jacket

    I am still waiting since mid December. I had a credit with them for my returned Devon Fleece. Otherwise I would have cancelled long ago as it's spring here now, and two months is way too long to wait for a non - custom jacket.

    Aero & Lostworlds Horse Hides

    Aero use very heavy hide that breaks in over time. The Rallye stuff is just crazy.

    Aero & Lostworlds Horse Hides

    LW use a hide with a painted outer finish, Aero use a more natural looking leather. Both are very heavy and thick. The true FQHH from Aero is just stunning.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    I like the way the very soft leather drapes and moulds to the body. My Buzz R leather was too thick so the fit was wrong, the Eastman is better. I must wear mine more often.
