Hi everyone ?
Has anyone ever heard of or known of any knock off or fake Eastman jackets ? B3's or others that we should be cautious of ?

There is an India faker forging A-1, Hartmann jackets and others from ELC, AERO and GW.
There is a thread on the forger here at TFL.

I don't think they're actually making knockoffs as such as that would require actual effort on their part. They're just using stolen photos but God knows what kind of abomination you get if you order something from them.

In general, spotting a fake B3 shouldn't be very hard 'cause it's always going to look like crap. Good sheepskin is expensive, they're not going to use anything even remotely similar to what Eastman or any other proper maker is making their jackets from.
