    That's a keeper. You nailed the fit. If you ride a bike and you wanted longer arms, I could understand that, but for every day use ya done good!

    What I’ve Learned Over The Years About This Hobby.

    I pretty sure Boyo’ wasn’t upset. He was simply trying to explain that I’m not new to the world of collecting Vintage Original and repro jackets, and that Ive been around for quite sometime, although not on this forum. I think that he was simply trying to vouch for me here, since most here...

    Thoughts on my new Eastman Rough Wear B3 jacket

    I'm relatively new here on the forum, but if you're OK with a new guys opinion, I would wear the hell out of it. The jacket was made to wear and I have had several B-3s, B-6s, Irvin's' and some D-1s, none of them have ever split open on me. We're are talking 20 years of wear. Now having said...

    Looking for a "buy it for life" A2

    Looks like you've received a lot of good advise for purchasing your A2 for life. I would just have one suggestion for you, that you might consider. Think about purchasing a previously owned, mint condition, top tier A2. The jacket will be one of the more authentic reproduction jackets, made of...

    Eastman Leather Clothing Ostmann Luftwaffe Jacket Brown

    I just recently picked up a used Hartmann at a decent price, but its about a size to big. I'm hoping to wear it in a couple of rainy downpours and let it shrink down a bit. Has anyone had this problem and tried to remedy it by letting the jacket get wet and then letting it slowly dry out?
