    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Congrats, Ton! We didn't bring in many of these, so they are pretty rare in the USA. Eastman definitely sold some, but I know of no other retailers outside of Japan and this example almost certainly originated as a sale from HPA. These were a one-season production that came in black with a...

    Another Eastman B3 Fit and questions part 2

    This 42 look much better on you, but looks can never replace comfort without the risk of the jacket becoming a closet queen. The unfortunate fence you sit on is the chest measure being between sizes. If you had a 42" chest, you'd also likely be 10-15 lbs. less in weight and that would also...

    Eastman Leather Clothing USAAF B-3 Flying Jacket, Perry Sportswear 17808 Mixed Batch

    Heron, congrats, I think, on the new leaner, meaner you! I do not have experience with fit comparison's between the LW Dubow B-3 vs. ELC, I'm sorry to say. Your waist is my size now, but your chest is a good 2-3" larger, so if my visual is correct, a 42 is the smallest you could consider...

    Lone Wolf boots. Fit true to size?

    It is correct that the Mechanic employs a last very similar to the famous Munson, but the sizes changed several years ago, so a Mechanic from, say, 4 years ago will fit a half size larger than the same style made in the last 2-3 years.

    Lone Wolf boots. Fit true to size?

    I do not know your name to search in any other form, but all e-mails on the subject of Lone Wolf boots from last week have been sent a reply. Please check your JUNK and SPAM folders. Do you normally assume every e-mail is received and cannot possibly suffer from any number of technical issues...

    Any wearer of the new Eastman WaHorse Monarch A-2?

    Realistically, an extra long is what you'll likely need, which will further help to offset the 0.5" tolerances.

    Any wearer of the new Eastman WaHorse Monarch A-2?

    Please remember that our listed measures are stated as being averages taken from no less than five jackets in each size and this is related to the fact that the tolerance on some seams, especially lengths, is +/- 0.5". If you start off with a garment that is minus 0.5" as a regular, the long...

    Lone Wolf boots. Fit true to size?

    We don't stock the style, but we can get anything the brand offers. We can get anything from Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson's, etc., as long as it is available in the Tokyo warehouse. This particular model could have been arriving this week with a shipment that left for us on Friday. We also know...

    Lone Wolf boots. Fit true to size?

    It depends fully on which LW style one buys: not all styles are built on the same last.

    Any wearer of the new Eastman WaHorse Monarch A-2?

    They are indeed about the same, but please be wary of the longs if you are counting on the precision of the measures. We have to be very specific when ordering these to get precision because just ordering a long or extra long has proven to yield a jacket that could have one of the two measures...

    Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.

    Beautiful pair of rarities! Thanks for posting. The HPA archives sold its NOS examples many years ago, which now makes me question the owner's sanity - ha!

    Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.

    Greetings, Big J! We've sold a few and I can say that they run small and women should order a size up from their normal dress size. And be prepared that these are very short in the waist, so wear with low-rise pants/jeans will expose the midriff. But this is how they should be and the...

    Lone Wolf boots. Fit true to size?

    There is no gamble ordering from us because the purchase is returnable. I think the convenience of a common language, extensive product knowledge, and service and care we offer is worth the price for every item we sell, but this is obviously not shared by all.

    Yup, this is what Eastman has been producing for nearly two years or so, Pea Coat. It's as good as it has ever been, and consistently so.
