No they didn't forget me.........I think it just happened to coincide with the start of the recession and the unstable stock market. I actually spoke with Mr. Eastman and he explained that the jacket was still on order with no real time frame available. Totally understandable but an e-mail to...

Aero B-6 Just as a heads-up for anyone that cares: Amanda quoted 4-6 weeks for an order for an Aero B-6 a few days ago.........................not bad. (She is great to deal with) I had ordered a Rough Wear B-6 from Eastman back in the fall and they quoted me 4-6 weeks and after...

Beautiful jacket............The fleece does look awfully thick for a D-1, though. Might just be the picture. My Eastman D-1 has 1/4 inch fleece, which is 1/2 of the B-3. I thought the D-1 originally had this thinner fleece.....maybe not. I also have an Aero B-6 which also has the 1/4" fleece...

I'd appreciate any opinions on the Quality differences between the 2-brands. I own an Eastman B-3 and it is top-notch with very good materials and attention to detail. I have a chance to get a good deal on an Aero B-6 and was wondering if it is worth the time. Thanks, Buzz

It's hard to tell the color of the Rough Wear B-6..............is it more closely compared to a Redskin? Any pics? Thanks, Buzz

Wow!! I never realized that buying direct was the way to go. I owned a Triumph TR-6 sports car for 20-years and the exchange rate was terrible at that time...parts were expensive to say the least. Thanks for all the advice posted here guys. The Eastman B-3 42R fits perfectly with a light...

Interested in purchasing this jacket and was wondering if anyone has one and thier opinion of the fit/impression. I have an Eastman B-3 and was wondering if the thinner sheepskin affects the sizing as well. The b-3 is a hell of a jacket but is too confining for driving due to the bulk. thanks!

I have the Vintage distressed cowhide version and it has worn very nicely since my purchase last summer. The leather is very well made and I don't baby this thing at all. I wear it for everything and it still looks great. I usually wear a true 42R and I had to go "down" a size to a medium to...

Just picked-up a Duo-Tone Eastman B-3 off of Ebay for cheap! I paid U.S. $400.00, not thinking that I would be able to aquire it at that price, which was about my high bid. Lucky Me! A friend has the Mono-tone version, but I have never seen the duo-tone in person. Any opinions? His...
