That is a great looking jacket.............get fitting as well.:)

I will do that and see where they are at now..............people certainly do make improvements as time goes on. I actually did look at an Eastman B-3 last year from a seller on Ebay who sells many of these Eastman jackets including some rarities but what he was offering was only available in...

I guess this late in life I would really like to have an original B-3 and have it be one I could wear. But given the age of these original jackets that's seems impractical so I'm not only trying to find a "GOOD" one. I'm really trying to find an original spec ...... with correct...

For me this new B-3 would be an everyday jacket in the winter. I walk in the winter most every day even if it's just a short walk around and down the BIKE/Walking path by our home. I'm also fortunate to live next to park and only several blocks away an expansive nature center where there are...

Sure I have looked at those as well as "The Real McCoy's", trouble with many of those jackets is that are they are all being sold out of JAPAN and for the most part in small sizes 38,42,40.a Large or X-Tra Large is hard to find........least they have been for me.

I have had several in the past Schott...............Avirex and an Eastman, And while these were nice warm and well made jackets the attention to original B-3 details were pretty far afoot. I'd certainly like an original but the biggest drawback is this is going to be a jacket I would want to...

NICE!

Sure it does! Looks cool and for $10.00+shipping.................a no brainer.

Yeah I found that also on Ebay last night and posted the link on one of my replys about my jacket. From what I can see from the photo of this one it is the same size [L] but it has a different lining, different label, different zipper pull and it has a belt that is sewn into the jacket , it's...

No I didn't take any just what I put up, Honestly I can get the jacket on but it is snug.............I usually take a X-LARGE so as it is an old jacket, I don't want to wear it around and risk pulling out or tearing out any stitching. My plan is to keep it for a while and then sell it to someone...

I agree I do see that now...................and sure pulls can be replaced, I just had one done here the other day on a fleece jacket I use for snow blowing. I'd be an ass to come on here with a jacket like this being a novice and asking for help and then not be accepting from people in the know...

Found this for comparison

Sure, I can take a photo of the jacket lying flat. The jacket does have a beautiful gloss finish to the leather Front zipper is a TALON but is kind of unusual as those lines that surround the name "Talon" are broken right across the letter "L" it's not a solid surround. The top of the zipper...

More images...............and of course the one you want to see when you find something like this.;)

I was able to talk to someone last night about this jacket who has long been in the vintage clothing business and he said the jacket dates to sometime in the 1940s.............anyone here have an opinion or have a guess on that? In any case he said just by the photos I provided it appears to be...
