Hi, I’m thinking about buying an M422a and have been looking at both Aero and Eastman’s offerings.

there’s quite a price difference (c. £300) with the only difference that I can see being the aero offering is darker brown.

am I missing something or is there something that justifies the additional money for the Eastman.

or is there another manufacturer I should be considering?

Good morning David, Did you ever get the M-422A that you were looking for? I just received mine this past Friday and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. It was alot more than I wanted to pay but I have been wanting this jacket for about 23 years now. I wish I could remember how much ELC listed these jackets in the early 2000's but it wasn't near what I just had to pay. Anyway, hope you found what you were looking for in this type of jacket.
Hope your day is blessed,
Glenn
