    New Eastman B3!

    My first experience with Eastman leather was several years ago via HPA. I wanted a Luftwaffe Jacket and was sent an A2 for sizing purposes. My initial response was the jacket was well made but too thin for my liking. Admittedly, I was no expert in WW2 era reproductions and my only A2 was a Lost...

    Eastman B3 measurements

    Hello all, I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me measurements off an Eastman B3 with the corresponding label size. Back length from collar seam, sleeve length from seam and pit to pit measurements would help me greatly. Many thanks

    My New Luftwaffe jacket

    I would imagine the extreme exchange rate would factor in with Eastman... On a side note I received one of US AUTHENTIC A-2's as a size trail...I was very happy with the quality of the A-2 and it was what subsequently made me have a custom luftwaffe jacket made. As far as accuracy I would...

    My New Luftwaffe jacket

    hey there, Well in my opinion they beat my expectations. I sent him 8x10 images from this site. http://www.original-fliegerjacken.de/ its under fleigerjacken and the jacket is called the messerschmidt. It is the Eastman coat with close ups. I told him to hold onto the patterns as I may want to...

    My New Luftwaffe jacket

    Johnny, I sent US authentic about 10 different shots of the Luftwaffe jacket gathered during my research. I heard that Eastman's fit like a shirt. Very tight. I wanted to keep the look but with a little bit more room. Also at 6'4" the length of the Eastman would be crazy short. I contacted...

    My New Luftwaffe jacket

    I just received my custom made jacket from US Authentic in New York. I always wanted a Luftwaffe Jacket but was not happy with the Eastman sizing and weight. So, I gave Mr Dover a call, sent some images and sizing details. He dealt with me in a very prompt way and about 10 days later I got my...

    Custom Jackets

    Hello, does anyone know of a good company that makes custom leather jackets? I have a few ideas in my head that amount to an amalgam of various flight jackets on the market and I would like to see the idea come to fruition. Thanks!

    Eastman Monarch A-2 I dont get it!

    Does anyone have an Eastman Luftwaffe jacket? Is it as thin as their A-2's? Also, those who have US Authentic A-2's; are you happy with them and do you feel they are constructed well? Thanks everyone

    Eastman Monarch A-2 I dont get it!

    Yeah, I may have been too harsh. I mean the jacket is well made and construction seems well thought out. I just never knew real A2's were so thin in design. It almost feels like I'm wearing a balloon. I wonder if the Eastman Luftwaffe jacket is the same feel? Thats the jacket I really want...

    Eastman Monarch A-2 I dont get it!

    Well, its definitely not thick. I just may not accustomed to exact replicas... Exact replica of a cheap jacket is still a cheap jacket lol.

    Eastman Monarch A-2 I dont get it!

    I just received my Eastman leather A-2 Monarch today. Call me crazy people, but I just don't get how these cost $1000? It reminds me of a jacket you would find in a bargain rack at the mall with thin construction throughout. It IS well constructed and has no flaws in workmanship..... Perhaps...

    Dr. JeKyL and Mr. LeXOL

    Check out leatherique rejuvinator oil. http://www.leatherique.com/products.htm. I originally used this stuff on leather auto interiors then tried it on my old Lost worlds jacket. It smells just like new leather and really deep cleans, driving out unseen dirt and grim. Wipe off the oil with...
