My new Eastman B-3

[CBI]

Not really new but new to me and nicely used:

a few pics - posted these on VLJ last week:


Really like this one!!!!

Nice jacket, and great fit! Here in NYC it's currently a chilly 30 degrees; perfect weather for a B-3.
Wear it in good health!

Very nice. I'm partial to a B3. I have a Lost Worlds already (russet on seal), but I'd be very tempted by one of these and especially a redskin if I came across them at the right price.

Beautiful! Love that cut.

Exactly. A lovely cut ... is it the .50Cal version?
As lovely as it is, purely speaking for myself, I preferred the "un-aged" type of sheepskin finish (how do they get this matt/creased finish? Is it heat?) as I prefer to age them myself with lots of wear in lots of weather, like the originals ... but that said CBI, your B-3 does look very authentic; it's very "The War Lover" ... and that's no bad thing! And it's a nice fit too. Wear it gladly and in good health ... and thanks for posting!

It's a house model ELC, the .50 cal version has a different back panel arrangement.
(I've examined this jacket and figured that out)

 

[Stand By]

Ahh. Thanks, Foster. It's still a keeper IMO.

 

[CBI]

thanks again foster for the sale.

 

[Stand By]

Ahhh. From one good home to another ... nice.

 

[Foster]

Thanks again for the purchase!

That's a Beauty. I have their 'redskin' version with the two piece back and NOS original zipper. Just wish I lived in colder climate lol. Enjoy -Ronbo

The weather here in the Great Lakes has been hovering around zero the past few days. Even had a couple days w/ wind chills as low as minus 20.
I've been loving the chance to wear my B-3's in complete comfort.
@ CBI, for a house jacket, that ELC looks outstanding. How old is it? It also fits you very well. Is it your normal size?

My one needs a new zip, anyone know of where to get a replacement (apart from Eastmans, as they'd probably charge me £50....) I use to wear my b3 or the D1 all the time when I had my Jeep.....ah those were the days....

Just a crisp 38c here in Oz...easier to look at jackets on the net rather than wear them...

Crikey! I'm guessing you guys don't do "pants off Fridays"? Enjoy the jacket weather mate...I might get a b3 body painted on and go surfing. Cheers.
