    Original WWII Bronco restoration help

    Thanks Thanks guys for the info. I already have some picards, but i'm thinking the jacket needs to be cleaned first and i was reading about saddle soap or neatsfoot oil. I don't think it's ever had any of that and the last thing i wanna do is harm it. I'll get pics soon as I can.

    Looking for A-2 sizing advice

    A-2 sizing Hi 61, Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it...and yes I do have the khakis, shirt, t-shirt... The jacket is quite nice but if you can see the side view how the back sticks out at the bottom, (due to the over size), and the front looks a bit pudgy in the sides. But then I'm my own...

    Looking for A-2 sizing advice

    Hi All, As some of you know I purchased an Eastman Roughwear 27752 last year and though it fit great as I had it custom done, I've sold it while looking for an original A-2 from WWII. The Bronco I got was bigger than my roughwear, but not having the funds to get one while keeping the other, I've...

    Original WWII Bronco A-2

    I'm wondering how rare these are??? I happened to get this one recently but I'm a bit confused about the size and wondering if I need to keep it or sell it and get one a bit tighter. I'm a 44 chest and this one, fits like a 46, though the pit to pit at the back measures 25 inches :-/ Length is...

    Eastman Roughwear 27752 sizing concern

    Andrew, Thanks for answering this one... Greg, sorry for the delay but been off radar for a bit. It's a bit pricey, but you won't regret it... I've seen them on Ebay but you don't know how it's going to fit you... My only recommendation is don't go for the time worn option... it's ok to have it...

    Beaver Brand impressions?

    Beaver Brand impressions Just to add, My hat that was sent back to the states to be "repaired" still hasn't showed up to the dealer I bought it from... we're talking 5 months and I've been out over $350.00 when I "should" have a hat. Coming from Arkansas I believe highly in supporting our...

    Horsehide can be pretty stiff...

    To be honest, I've got a Roughwear 27752 jacket from Eastman in Horse hide and it's the absolute finest jacket I've ever had. Comfortable, warm, bit stiff but feels good on the body. Have a look at my other posts.

    Eastman Roughwear A-2 27752

    Thanks guys, Yeah I'm a lot happier now with it... in fact, thinking of getting another one in a 44L which will only be a half inch longer... However, I've tried this on with the chinos, and it's spot on as it is... It's got a lovely grain to it though, and I've just put conditioner on it before...

    Eastman Roughwear A-2 27752

    To all the guys here who have requested pics of this fine work of art... sorry it's taken me a while but here they are. PS: The sizing issue isn't an issue anymore, I'm thinking the sleeves could do with another half inch off but as it is, it's great and looks spot on with chino's both dockers...

    Eastman Roughwear 27752 sizing concern

    Sorry guys for the delay on the pics. As you can see I've scuffed up the right rear shoulder and not sure how to sort it or even if I should bother... gotta say though, it's TOUGH hide. Hope you like the pics.

    Eastman Roughwear 27752 sizing concern

    Appologies guys for not getting the requested pics posted as of yet but when I get my camera back I'll make it a priority.... In addition, I'm wondering what kind of leather conditioner to use for the color match on this horse... as well as covering a few ermmmm scratches aquired on the shoulder...
