    Expensive Repros: From "Gem" to "Jacket"

    Im really hoping that some day my B-6 will develop that heavily distress look of the originals, where there is almost more natural hide color showing through than the seal brown coating.

    Expensive Repros: From "Gem" to "Jacket"

    I am certainly not looking to trash my B-6, but since its my daily wearer it inevitably gets some distressing.

    Delayed Sticker Shock.

    I think you are absolutely right. I think the jackets are just the physical manifestion of my love of history and aviation and the admiration of what our ancestors accomplished. I just got a really stellar ELC RW B3 and when I wear it, I feel like I am wearing knights armor. It is the shining...

    Delayed Sticker Shock.

    So I will be the first to say that Yes I have a jacket addiction. I've been researching and buying jackets for about 7 years now, mostly WWII flight jackets. But I just had a very startling realization..... I don't know the exact number of jackets I have....and I estimated that I have spent no...

    WPG Irvin...is it worth it?

    She's a beauty! Is that Eastman? How long have you had it? I've been wearing my ELC B6 for 3 years now, getting some cool wear marks. I'd say finally broken in.
