[dmcburn75]

Does anyone know who supplied the A2 jackets for the filming of HBO's Band of Brothers? They look pretty sharp!

I believe Eastman Leather provided the jackets. Although they do not appear on the website like the Pearl Harbor jackets do. I remember reading that ELC did the mussette bags for the show as well.

The Real Mcoy supplied them... I bought a B3 from the production..We did a photoshoot for the company on set.

I think he "died" in Foy..Same episode I was in as a War-photographer.

I too have always heard the jackets were Real McCoy.

Absolutely...Real McCoy New Zealand...RMNZ.
They even sold some "aged" jackets from the BOB after the filming was over.

Thanks for the real deal information. You wouldn't happen to know who did the jump clothing?

Here is one of A2s from unused jackets from the series a Roughwear

This Dubow was made from the same leather used for the other A2s I had the BoB painted patch and wings added.
