Winter is here. The pull for a B-6 is strong (despite loving my N1). Anyone able to share some recent pics of their B-6? Many of the previous thread pictures are blurred by photobucket. Plus it’s been a while since there was an update. Leaning towards an Eastman roughwear but all are considered. All reviews and opinions welcomed as well.

Here’s a shot of my Eastman Roughwear B-6:

This was taken a couple years ago when the jacket was brand new. It has seen very little wear since then because I live in a climate where it is too damn warm to make use of it. It is a beautiful jacket though and quite comfortable to wear. Pretty amazing how warm it is considering the light weight.

For the Eastman fellas did you all need to opt for long or extra long? The hpa size chart and a discussion with the rep suggests I would need to.

That’s good info. I like to think my arms are more or less regular length. My trepidation regarding a long order is that it is nonreturnable. I’ve never actually seen one inperson and am hesitant to be locked in.

Hello,
this is my B6 jacket, purchased directly from Aeroleather (I live in Naples).
My height (shortness!!!) is 172 cm and my weight varies between 72 and 78 kilograms (depending on my mood and hunger).
My B6 is size 38, back length 25" and sleeve length 25".
For reference I own a size 40 Aero Premier Half Belt, back length 24.5 "and sleeve length 25.75".
Here are some fit pics.
I hope I have helped you.
Vezio.

Thanks Vesio. I’ve always liked that balcony shot.
