    So, I got myself an A2(Eastman)

    Hello Everyone, I think I can contain myself after this. Some of you might know that that I got my civilian half belt probably a month ago and I have been wearing that since, but A2 was always back of my head, so I pulled the trigger on one. There are so many variety of A2 cuts, that I went...

    Thanks Gareth. This is a Drifter too with Horween CXL steer. I love this color depth of the leather and the character, it just a bit heavy. However, after wearing it for last three 3days, I must say it's breaking down better than I expected. Cuff linning or shoulder seem joint doesn't hurt as...

    Eastman A-2 help

    Long and XL in terms of just sleeve and back? Sorry if that sound very obvious. One of their slender A2 shoulder is 16.75", do they change it to lets say long and add an inch?

    Eastman A-2 help

    @Brettafett Do you know if Eastman can customise the the shoulder for their A2 instead of going one size up? I just received my civilian jacket few days back and already planning for an A2 for my holy trinity.:) Contacted both Rob and Gary, but no reply.:(

    @ton312 , the lining on the cuff is different from the hem, it's more of Barbour's waxed jacket type(below is the pic). And after a day's work it's little better I must say, but long way to go. But the shoulder and sleeve joint seem is really bothering me.:mad:

    So after almost 3 months of wait, the jacket is finally home. I changed the hide to my initial choice Horween cxl Havana as Shinki was delayed. And not been able to handle any heavy weight hide, my initial expression while lifting the jacket was "Ohh my ******* god":) Now, the jacket was made...

    My new ELC A2 Slender model

    Hey @Jaime , first of all congratulation on the jacket and it's great fitting one. I came across your video in youtube searching for a slender A2 myself. I like the exact same model that you have in same size(I am same height and weight as yours). But, in Eastman , I could find if they ask for...

    Mine was chocolate Shinki, not sure about the black ones. I don't know how long usually it takes for these shipping to arrive, but it's hard to wait for another month.

    So apparently after 3 weeks of wait they told me they ran out of Shinki :( Now sure how long it's going to be for next shipping. Meanwhile if I'm to change the leather, anyone has any expereice with Italian veg tanned steer? The color brown is lil too dark for my taste by looks like it can...
