Our Fave Cold-Weather Jackets
Good job, and thank you! Well, I'd first say that our SIZING TIPS on our website do seem to work and that you are on the outside of what would typically work. But there are exceptions that no formula can account for, so I'll present an experienced opinion and you can make your own call on...- HPA Rep

Precisely! This would come as no surprise if it is, in fact, the case.- HPA Rep

Russet Vincenza Sheene at one year...
As good as it gets, really. I more than second these words. TM got one that is on the high end of special, as if it had been selected for you. I just did that for a buyer and the jacket he received was no better than TM's. Congrats!- HPA Rep

Russet Vincenza Sheene at one year...
The small collar and way it lays so nicely on the jacket (flat) is one of several oft-repeated praises we're hearing from buyers of the ELMC Californian.- HPA Rep

Russet Vincenza Sheene at one year...
It's certainly possible, if not likely. I saw one of the BK Liberty hides on a jacket very recently while I was wearing my ELMC Californian in Havana Brown, and the owner of the Liberty and I, in our opinions, both found no discernible differences that could be attributed to anything beyond...- HPA Rep

Russet Vincenza Sheene at one year...
Your jacket is superb! I own both black and Havana Brown. Black has a black dye base, so it will not develop wear and patina to the extent the Havana Brown and American Walnut will, but it is given the Eastman TimeWear treatment in subdued form at the factory, as are all the ELMC leather...- HPA Rep

You can have Eastman repair the worn-off sheepskin trim, if you wish, John. We've sent quite a few to be done and they come back looking new.- HPA Rep

Actually, John, there's quite a good deal of work in the SFAD B-3. Not only do the Merino pelts cost more than those used in the standard B-3, but they have to be rendered into the fine sueded finish, dyed to the off-white shade (they'd be awfully whitish if this wasn't done), then washed and...- HPA Rep

LUFTWAFFE jackets - Eagles who Dare to Wear..!
You are correct, Edward, and we have heard similar over the years about the name and the eagle. It's a good jacket style that always did have a place in the offerings, but it seems the younger the market gets, the more bothered they are with this sort of thing. This is based solely on what...- HPA Rep

That was great to see a blast from the past, Ronbo. Thank you for sharing. Size 48 hasn't been offered by us for quite a long time, due entirely to the high minimums vs. related sales of that size. Your jacket has held up really well, which is a testament to the USAF-spec., heavy nylon twill...- HPA Rep

Thanks for the interest, Nick 123, and I hope your Thanksgiving was relaxing and happy. The sizing issue isn't easy, and given what you added, it's more difficult. Each year's batch of A-10's vary a bit in fit, and when you factor in it's a trim glove by design, plus different people have...- HPA Rep

Yes, the B-7 is, quite possibly, the greatest work of art I've ever seen come from Buzz Rickson's. They made less than 150 of these for worldwide sales and then it's over. That's an interesting interview; thanks for sharing. Assuming the writer didn't botch some of the material, it's...- HPA Rep

Not impressed ELC
You may well be correct in your memory, Deacon, as someone certainly could have said that. The internet is a magnet for misinformation, disinformation, rumor, and unfounded stories, all of which is spoken as fact by those who act or think they know something. If Winston Churchill had lived in...- HPA Rep

Eastman Irvin RAF sheepskin repro sizing
I'm sure any such views and opinions are subjective, including my own. But if you look at the older images of this style vs. the newer images, I'd be curious to know which you prefer.- HPA Rep

Eastman Irvin RAF sheepskin repro sizing
I really want to emphasize that it's not that the new skins aren't nice, it's just that if one saw the older jackets, one would likely be more wowed. If you don't have a visual record to compare with, which most customers wouldn't, I sincerely doubt anyone would be displeased with the new...- HPA Rep

Eastman Irvin RAF sheepskin repro sizing
The RAF sheepskin jacket came in various size configurations to provide for those taller, shorter, etc., much as did the service blouse, etc., and indeed one would get what was available and/or which fit to one's best desire, hence the various looks we see in the vintage photos. Having said...- HPA Rep
