    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Will do, but I'll probably need the L version then because I'm 6'1

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    I've already gone through their size chart, but i do not understand why it states that I am a size 44 regular when my normal jacket size (well, in cloth tailored pieces at least) is 38-40...

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    While going through different types of jackets I just stumbled upon the Aero ANJ-4. What can I say, I am just amazed. The best looking sheepskin jacket I've ever seen! This one might just top the other two for me, the only concern is that it might be too hot and that I might not be able to wear...

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Eastman has quite the reputation for making stunning jackets it seems! Did the 'normal' sizes as opposed to the custom sizes pose a problem for you when you were ordering the jacket?

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Thank you for this comparison. I will probably buy an Aero or an eastman, as fluctuations in quality and bad customer service are something that, especially in that price range, isn't acceptable to me. That said, I do not want to condone anyone who buys BK, that is entirely a personal choice.

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Well... it might seem weird to say that I like cold temperatures. Is that weird? I don't know, it probably is. Anyhow, the wind bothers me the most instead of the cold temperatures and a leather jacket is the remedy to that, the fact that it looks incredible is a huge bonus of course;)

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Thanks for letting me know, because I was actually considering an Aero M422a, but as the only color is a very dark brown, I was kind of put off by that. I'd like my jacket to be a lighter brown, more in the shade of the 'havana' brown from Eastman. It'd be great if they would be prepared to use...

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Greg, thanks for sharing this! At the moment i'm doubting whether to go for an eastman or a bill kelso. Contracts are important to me, as personally I think there is way more to these jackets than just the great looking aspect of it. I already have a suede jacket for the warmer days, so the one...

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Sounds good, I also think the collar itself looks really good in its own right, besides the extra comfort

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    I see your point, but isn't the fur collar too warm in fall/spring? or does one not notice that it's there if the collar doesn't stand up?

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    another question that is on my mind: are the eastman jackets worth the extra cost when compared to aero's and BK?

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    I live in Belgium, it can get quite cold up here during winter but early fall/late spring tends to be rather mild up here. The A-2 would give me more occasions to wear it, whereas the M422a is confined to fall/winter season. The reason I'm also interested in an M422a is the trimmed comfortable...

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Wow... a lot of knowledge in 1 post. Thank you edward! As an answer to your questions: I am looking for something I can wear most of the time, the kind of jacket that you just put on because it just feels good to do so time and time again. That's also why I'm still struggling to decide on the...

    first quality-repro leather jacket

    Hello all, I've been going through different posts for a while now, and finally decided to make my own account. That being said, I'd like to purchase my first leather repro jacket. As someone who is deeply interested in WW2 I appreciate the history these jackets come with, even if they're brand...
