    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
