    Eastman Pearl Harbor A2

    Nice to see one of these, Marv! Thanks. The Time Wear has sure evolved in the 15 years it's been since I worked on that film. Just thinking about it now makes me feel old. And it brings back the memories of all the back and forth with samples to achieve the fit the director was looking for...

    fitted G-1 / M422a options

    I'm a WWII guy at heart, so the M-422A is more my thing and color is part of the reason. The Eastman M-422A I have was made from a goatskin batch that was something quite special I never saw before or after mine arrived, which was 1999. Just an odd batch that was quite special and I got lucky...

    Nice, Marv! You have what I have in my personal Eastman G-1 jacket, which is the older Eastman 55-J-14 G-1 style with the scalloped pocket flaps, heavy grain, and the rustier-colored collar fur. I don't know why they changed the shape of the pockets other than to be new for newness sake; I...

    The fit of the 55-J-14 is indeed trim. You can see fit images of the Eastman 55-J-14 and their M-422A on our affiliate thread here on TFL. Please take a look at this link; the M-422A is found on page 8 and the G-1 is on page 24...

    Thank you. Glad you like some of what's been getting crafted in Japan for the last few years.

    Yes, indeed it is extremely similar to the Dr. Who coat - thanks for that interesting tidbit. I'm familiar with those U-Boat coats I think you're speaking of - 3/4 length and light gray in color. I believe the ones used in "Das Boot" were produced by Michael Janke in Germany, or I can say that...

    And you've quite likely seen what I think is one of the most innovative jackets Buzz Rickson's has offered under the Aviation Associates label to date, which is this vintage classic made from vegetable-tanned nubuck horsehide we brought in in the late fall of 2014...

    This is a 2014 style. Fully vegetable-tanned, fully aniline-dyed horsehide imported from Italy was employed for the leather in black and the leather weight was approximately 3.5 ounces. Olive-colored blanketing lined the body, sleeves, and cuff backs. Interesting design features include...

    This style is from 2013. Fully vegetable-tanned, fully aniline-dyed horsehide imported from Italy was employed for the leather in black and the leather weight was approximately 3.5 ounces. Black-colored corduroy lined the body, sleeves, cuff backs and adjustment tabs at the waist back; the...

    This is a shorter, half-belt design from 2 years ago. Fully vegetable-tanned, fully aniline-dyed horsehide imported from Italy was employed for the leather in black, weighing approximately 3.25 ounces. Dark blue-colored, heavy-weight flannel lined the body, but the sleeves were lined in black...

    This project's focus isn't meant to be limited to longer-length jacket designs, so we can offer shorter styles or we can develop one of each type. This is a style we offered 2 1/2 years ago that reached about the middle hip and which was offered in either black or deep brown. Fully...

    The Fedora Lounge Vintage-Style Leather Jacket Collaboration Designed by You

    This is last year's design. Fully vegetable-tanned, fully aniline-dyed horsehide imported from Italy was employed for the leather in either black or medium-shade russet brown and the leather weight was approximately 3.25 ounces. The black version was assembled with black thread and the brown...

    This coat is also from two years ago. Again, both brown and black were offered but this brown was more of a russet brown than the previous version; the leather is again vegetable-tanned horsehide from Italy, though this was specified to be closer to 3 ounces in weight. The black version was...

    This is from two years ago and was offered in brown and black. The leather was fully vegaetbale-tanned, aniline-dyed horsehide imported from Italy and was about 3.5 ounces in weight. The belt was removable and the plaid lining was gray on the black version and brown for the brown version...

    Ok, so I'll now post a series of images of past styles we've done to present some conceptual foundation and inspiration for the proposed TFL jacket project. This is a style from 2009 we offered ...

    Handy Mike, you posted some nice styles and anything is going to be fair game for conversation on this project idea. I agree that 27" on the back length is good depending on the jacket size; the styles you posted would seem to be longer than 27", so we'd have to manipulate them, shortening the...

    Thank you, HandyMike; that has some really nice detailing. Do you know if it's American in origin? It's clearly very, very close to Eastman's WWI German Aviator Coat and their Brooklands Coat...
