    FS As new Eastman Leather B3

    So you’re 6’1” and had it made extra long at 28”?? That must have been down to your knees haha. Do you have any pics of you wearing it so I can gauge the fit?

    FS As new Eastman Leather B3

    That seems insanely long for Eastman though. Typically their extra Longs are 1 1/2” over standard. Was this custom made for you? How tall are you?

    FS As new Eastman Leather B3

    I’m 6’4” and 185 lbs. I typically wear a 40 long but this sounds perfect for me! Is the back measurement (28”) taken from the bottom of the collar down?

    M-422A v AN6552

    I know! The grain and patina is what drew me to it initially. Plus the fact that I used to live about a block away from where the Ostermann store used to be located in Milwaukee was cool for me. Typically a 40 works fine. I don't have any authentic military jackets, but I have a 40L...

    M-422A v AN6552

    Again, just for my own piece of mind, do you think this would fit a guy like me whos 6'4"/ 185 lbs? I typically need a 40 long and the length on this seems perfect.

    M-422A v AN6552

    That's a pretty solid referral. I know he knows his stuff based on the conversations I've had with him, but was really just checking myself on the measurements.

    M-422A v AN6552

    The knits look like they could be new and longer than the originals which could account for the length.

    M-422A v AN6552

    Damn, that thing fits beautifully and is one fine jacket. I like how the AN6552's were labeled with just the US as opposed to the USN that came later with the M422. Yea, I'll see if i can include a pic of the measurement he took for me so you can see for yourself if it is what you're talking...

    M-422A v AN6552

    and yes, it is missing the actual size tag so he could be off, but the shoulder/pits indicate 40 to me as well.

    M-422A v AN6552

    I seem to think he's pretty reputable since he claims to restore vintage leather jackets, but there's still something fishy about the fact that it's listed as a 40L. I'm thinking the same thing you guys are that they didn't make long's back then and stuff, but here are the measurements he took...

    M-422A v AN6552

    Hi guys, Hope this is the right place to post this question. I found a WWII USN M-422A by Fried Ostermann and it's a size 40, but the guy selling it claims it's a long because it's 27" in length. While that does normally sound like a long size, from the research I've done, there were a fair...

    1940s halfbelt horsehide motorcycle jacket

    Thanks guys! Yea the horsehide is in super shape and it looks badass, but I kinda want either an a2 or m422 instead

    1940s halfbelt horsehide motorcycle jacket

    Would also be interested in a trade for m-422 in 40 long or comparable size.
