    Schott vs Eastman warmth

    I have the Werber Sportswear. Have no idea how thick the sheepskin is, but it does not feel very warm (for my area)

    Schott vs Eastman warmth

    Hi! I bought a Schott 257s in january 2021. I have used it a lot in the Norwegian winter! And i love it. Never been cold with the jacket, even as cold as -20 c. Recently i bought a Eastman B3 as well. Altough i love my Schott i still wanted the big daddy of all the flight jackets...

    Buying a B3!

    Thanks for nice reply. Appreciate it! Im thinking of getting size 42. Hopefully that size gives me way better mobility and able to layer! And not ruin my arms when the phone rings :p And that should be slightly longer in the arms as well? Just worried it will be to bulky around the waist...

    Buying a B3!

    Mobility is not the best! There is discomfort in the arms (albues and upper arms). With just a tshirt its fine, but i live in Norway with temperatures like -20 to -30c so i need to layer during winter. However i shoud be able to drive and drinking beer! Its just when i lift my arms high like...

    Buying a B3!

    Thanks! Yes i actually did strap it up at the waist with the buckles after i took these pictures! It was in the first hole, now it is on third. So its a better fit around the waist now. It is very big around the upper arms, but looking at photos of others it seems like they are suppose to be...

    Thank you for your honesty! Thats what i want. I can try to take some better pictures today outside. But i agree, it does not feel like i hoped at all.

    Buying a B3!

    Thanks for the reply. Well, i dont think my skinny jeans on the picture does me any favour! With another jeans it does not look THAT big. But, its not just the sleeves. I did try it on now, and i find the fit very strange. I have 37 chest (and overall very skinny, wich i have been all my...

    Buying a B3!

    The problem is that now i want even more Sheepskin/B3 jackets! Will definetely buy another one in the future. And that will be either Aero or Eastman. Was out with my kids just now and watched them ice skating for about an hour and a half in -13C and i was warm all the time. Altough my feet...

    Buying a B3!

    A little update: I was in contact with Aero and Schott. Eastman did not reply at all. Bad customer service in my experience. When you buy a jacket over 1000£ you really want to get the safety by great customer service, especially when you’re unsure about the fit etc. Aero did respond very...

    Thanks for the pictures! You are happy with your Schott? How do you think it is compare to the other B3’s like Aero and Eastman that are mentioned here?

    Awesome Schott jacket! I actually have the same style in Schott Europe model that i got as a gift. Lc1259. It has the same look, but you can tell it is not the same. It is very well made, but it is not as heavy duty or anyway near as warm as the 257s.
