Eastman WWI 3/4 Flying Coat Opinions?

Has anybody purchased Eastman's WWI 3/4 Flying Coat? I am curious what people think of its quality and comfort. I am aware that the design has dubious origins - i.e. may not reflect what an actual German pilot wore - and that it looks suspiciously similar to Eastman's British motoring coat, but I am more concerned about the other aspects of the jacket. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated, since those on Eastman's website are sparing.

It basically is the same coat - the only difference is that one of them has handwarmer pockets on the chest, not the other. Oh... and the German model is black. No difference otherwise I can see. Never handled either, though.
