You would have made a small fortune in 1944 based in England. Awesome work!

When I see those pictures of the Aero A1 in oil pulled leather, I regret getting the jacket in seal hh.

I have a Bill Kelso house A2 that was extremely long. Did a few hot water treatments exactly as the original poster did. I also tossed it in the dryer for a few minutes at a time on low heat. It worked for me. I did it more to shorten the jacket opposed to breaking in the leather. Probably...

My Goodwear A-2 and Jack Daniels suit me just fine. Fine American products!

I did the same, I ordered a Goodwear A-1 a few months back. Even though we have had jacket weather here in Chicago lately.

What are the pit to pit measurements? I'm interested in it.

That's funny. One time I drove from Ann Arbor Mi, to Chicago in traffic with a 25 beagle on my lap. She was a terrible car rider, and would cry until she was on my lap. By the time I got through Chicago, I could barely feel my legs. 29 Toter, I would love to see that jacket when it's done.

Awesome present.....over the top.

I just picked up a Sterlingware pea coat from the local Army/Navy surplus. Marked as used but I'm convinced this guy left the Great Lakes training center for San Diego and never wore it. Looks brand new. $90.

I have purchased a few of their jersey and caps. Top notch company and products. Good to see some fans of "vintage" baseball.

The seller's name says it all: PricePig

I'd love to know the dimensions of a size 48 ELC A1. I wrote Eastman and they won't give that info out stating something about they'd rather get measurements of the person.

How much will a leather jacket shrink with a hot water treatment? I'm hoping to shrink the length more than width. Any techniques that work best? I searched but didn't find the answers I was looking for.

Any suggestions for long-term storage? I'm thinking of cedar lined chest to lie the jackets flat in. I know Eastman Leather sells a a box/drawer type system.

Not a dig at all. I also have been inquiring about the status of jacket that is over due, and was supposed to be ready the last week of August. I'm saying Amanda gets backed up on her email every now and then.
