Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
quotable u r an expectedly classic quote from someone who quotes vivienne westwood! indeed it is about the cut, and, as morally lacking they were, the nazis knew a thing or two about what matters on the material plane, otherwise they couldn't have hoodwinked germany and wrecked the world as...- johnnyjohnny

Anyone Have a BLACK Schott 184SM?
prices went south sorry south, when i bought mine i found a number of resellers of new 184sm's in the high $300 range, but that was 1.5 years ago today, this might be the best you can do, unless you care to go 30 pages into google search results...- johnnyjohnny

A few questions
oBvious hi, i think the obvious answer is aero, which custom make every jacket, will do customization, have a great number of options in steer and horsehide, and are in the $700 price range... gorgeous jackets, and they meet your criteria- johnnyjohnny

Gibson and Barnes Vintage Goatskin
geebee hi, the GB g-1 is incredible, classic cut and shape, as long as you don't get the civilian version the GB milspec jackets run a tad big in their sizing, which doesn't mean they are baggy, just that what other milspec makers label a 46, gb labels a 44, from my experience about a year ago...- johnnyjohnny

Vanson Leathers: Enfield pattern
thanks seb lucas regarding my luftwaffe, i love it... i think you are making the correct decision, though it sounds like a vanson off the shelf enfield size 46 (they run small) might be to your liking...if you'll be in lobsterland (massachusettes) you might want to try a vanson on and...- johnnyjohnny

how big is the chest circ. of your jacket???
celtic, you midget! (that's a joke) tjoek...really sleek fit...very nice...varies from how i wear mine since i go way beyond your 3" preference circumference vs. actual chest size...all a matter of preference, and also i'd say in jacket type, as you are wearing cafe racer style jackets...kind...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
howdy P5640blouson... i think if anything your views may be fueled by my having taken the eastman luftwaffe shots at night with artificial and low lighting, vs. in the day and with added artificial lighting for the lewis, giving the photos a less quality look however, i can assure you the...- johnnyjohnny

how big is the chest circ. of your jacket???
wahhhhhhhhhh well thanks peacoat, now i'm fer sure fer sure going to be afraid of the rain...am wondering if using leather water resistance spray's, or just conditioners, would keep this from happening...but then i'd also be a bit wary putting a water resist spray on my eastman...- johnnyjohnny

how big is the chest circ. of your jacket???
eeeeek, your story of your shrunk schott (no, that's not a double entendre) made me take notice...i wouldn't like my jackets to be any smaller than they are now, and since everyone on the forum is such a fan of doing a gene kelly with your jackets, i eased up enough to not run out of the rain...- johnnyjohnny

how big is the chest circ. of your jacket???
i'm totally interested in fit, especially since coming onto the forum here i've found many members prefer their mil and bike jackets a trim fit...reasoning being that ww2 mil jackets were worn trim, and for bike jackets that are actually worn for biking, a good fit is needed if one hits the...- johnnyjohnny

Newbie Question: What Have I Got Here?
welcome...i'm no bonafide expert on label contract numbers, but this certainly has a contract number which, as far as i know, refers to it's being built according to military contract...and at that time spiewak was not in the business (if they ever were) of making 'replica' mil jackets it...- johnnyjohnny
