    Eastman Leather Clothing A-2 Jacket, Rough Wear Clo. Co. 27752

    That's some great sleeve creasing, Marv! The whole A-2, really, has a wonderful lived-in look that clearly reflects it has adapted to your body. Superb stuff we all hope to achieve!

    Eastman Leather Clothing A-2 Jacket, Rough Wear Clo. Co. 27752

    This model A-2 is our top seller. Both A-2s are Eastman Rough Wear 27752 examples and both are size 40R. I'm doing the modeling and my body measures are as follows: 40" chest circumference, 30" waist, 5' 9" tall, 33” shirt sleeve, 147 lbs. with a lean, athletic build. The used Rough Wear 27752...

    The jacket depicted is a Californian in American Walnut size 40R; all Californian jackets grade longer in length of sleeve and body as the sizes get larger, and they are also available in long fittings, which are 1" longer in sleeve and body length than their regular-fitting counterparts. I'm 5'...

    You haven't been forgotten, Joel; both colors are on the list to be shot and uploaded here, as are the many other great items in this collection. Please keep your fingers crossed for the end of this week. Thank you for your keen interest!

    It's a fine idea, thanks. But the uphill part of doing so is that I've tried pasting our size chart here and the way the chart is formatted, it doesn't look good at all on here. I'd have to re-type the entire chart in some other format, which takes time not currently available. And I actually...

    Buzz Rickson Vintage-Style Flying Jacket, Nubuck Horsehide

    Leave it to Buzz Rickson’s to offer something rarely ever encountered – a jacket made from vegetable-tanned, nubuck horsehide! This was a style and hide type that immediately struck me in great ways when it was rolled out and HPA just had to order these for our customers who have a passion...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Gents, I don't know how familiar you are with Sugar Cane's Lone Wolf Engineer Boots from Japan, but these are a premium-quality boot that compares very favorably with Viberg and other high-end, notable brands, and we just received a full re-stock in black; we can outfit sizes up to a USA 11...

    Thank you for the info. Do you know how long ago the measures were actually taken or how many jackets of that size were measured to derive them? The measures coming from Eastman are usually perfumed by Rob Brace, sometimes using as little as one jacket to measure, and if an actual jacket...

    Well, if that is so, then Gary may have been confused about his own product or he was speaking about the possibility of a jacket being on the negative side of "within tolerance," because not only is that incorrect based on every Californian I measured here, but the Eastman Leather tradition when...

    Please go to our web page for any jacket and look for the tab at the top entitled "measuring garments" to see how we measure.

    Hmmmmm, your ideal would be a blend of sizes in this style with a little magic sprinkled on it, but size 42L would likely be the closest, with the following measures applying for an example that was on spec. and not just within tolerance: Chest width: 23" Shoulder width: 19.5" Arm...

    Thank you for your measures and feedback. I'm a bit confused, however, because you cited a jacket with a 19.5" shoulder measure and an arm measure of 25.5" - 26" being good for you, which would be the 40 Long in this style (25.5" on the arm measure if it's dead on spec.), but you're citing some...

    But, if I understood you correctly from other correspondence, you tried on a size 40, which was also too snug in the chest, and not a size 42, which you believe would be the correct size and which should be longer. Oui???

    It's basically quite good on durability, but that's relative to user treatment over time. We've had the factory replace customer linings on other styles we've been offering for 25 years and the rayon is performing better than the cotton broad cloth, but all of these linings will eventually...

    Thank you for your personal specs. and feedback, HD. Obviously, you're tall, so I would expect you to need something longer than a regular fitting. I'm making an educated guess you'd likely need a size 42 in this style, and assuming the long was, at the least, dead on spec., that size would...

    Yes, Joel, this style is on the schedule to be shot in both colors, so please stay tuned for these images in due course. Thank you for your interest.

    Eastman used to offer short sizes and I agree these would be nice to be able to offer, but Eastman made a call to eliminate these a few years ago, which was after a period of time from when they discontinued customizations. It was explained to me at the time that orders for shorts were few and...

    In my genuine efforts to attempt to improve any deficiencies with the ELMC Californian jacket, please do share your height, shirt-sleeve measure, and your chest measure so we can evaluate what may be reasonable to amend. Thank you.

    I agree, at 5' 11" tall you aren't all that tall, so please do tell what is your chest measure and your shirt-sleeve measure; I'm very curious to learn where the factory lengths are deficient so this can be evaluated for my discussion with ELMC. I can understand this complaint more with a man...

    I agree with everything you stated, other than anything Gary said to you, which I was not present for and cannot have more than an opinion about that; if factual (and I'm not saying it isn't), then such a policy could be injurious to business. Having said that, most manufacturers of the type I...
