Eastman B-6 'redskin' jacket

[chamboid]

I am in the good fortune to be able to buy a Eastman Rough Wear B-6 Redskin jacket, much cheaper than new, but in as new condition. It's an old model, with Talon zips and a slightly 'more generous' cut as I have been told by Eastman.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a review, or lowdown on the jacket and tell me if the price £270 for a unworn jacket is a good price.

Thanks

Unworn and a Roughwear in redskin, grab it with both hands! I sold a standard early 90's Eastman with a timeworn finnish on Ebay back in November for GBP 375 so I would say that is a real bargain.

It's just cause its an older model, wanted to make sure it's the same process and quality of sheepskin. Always get worried about putting a hole through shearling jackets. But I think I will snap it up. Missed a b-10 by Eastman the other day for £200 quid which I'm a bit gutted about.

Thanks otter
