Hi Septimus - great you have reached Gary finally - in addition I want to recommend Mr. Rob Brace at Eastman rob@eastmanleather.com, who has corresponded to my recent replies very quickly and kindly on several occassions.
In fact I've experienced a similar issue with my Eastman B-3 Time Worn...
Hi all. I'm currently selling my brand new Buzz Rickson's B-10 Rough Wear in size 40 on the bay (imported from Rakuten Shop in Japan). It's too trim for me, I need a 42. Matter of taste, but compared to Pike, Aero and ELC I like the Buzz best, because of the darker shaded knits and neater shaped...
Hey Brett, they just call it Russet HH, but Amanda told me it's basically the same als "Smooth Russet" or "Smooth Russet Mid Weight" - also on their Sale page. In fact I owned (and sold) several A-2s from Aero (oil pull HH, jerky seal and regular midweight seal HH) but this russet one is...
Hi gents, I'm a seldom poster (more often reader) here, so here's a brief introduction of myself:
my name is Thomas - I have a small collection of Aero, Eastman and Buzz Rickson's flight jackets over the years. I'm more into replicas - I want to wear these jackets without caring too much.
My...
Denim
To add one thing to the already mentioned:
I'd like to get actual waist measurements in the denim section - or at least the info, if the model runs true to size or not. More details in descriptions would be nice also.
any more Windwards
Ciao amice!
Am I right, do you have a black and a cordovan one? Or just some color difference in the photos? Your cordovan one looks very georgious, congrats!
I've worn mine not so much yet - I found it a bit cold with the weather conditions at the moment (0-10 celsius)...
Thanks for useful advises, guys. Very much appreciated. :) I'll try something out.
By the way: I recently purchased Eastman's new B-3 in broken grain sheepskin, and this very tough leather surface develops a shine while wearing in, up to my notice.
Thanks again, Thomas.
Hi,
I may belong to a minority, but I especially like a glossy finish on seal brown sheepskin jackets such as a B-3 or B-6.
Maybe someone here can give my an advise how to "lacquer" or "shine" my Eastman B-6, which is well worn at the moment, and very matte in finish. Of course without...
Hey LtGustl, please give us an idea where to get those decals from - I found vinyl transfer decals en masse on the web, but not our blue AAF one. A link maybe?
Servus!,

Bluegrass
feltfan,
James King is a great singer! While you're in San Francisco, be shure to check out San Francisco based THE EARL BROTHERS, a new Old Time Music formation with appalachian background (Virginia, I guess). They sound real ancient, a raw version of the Stanley Brothers!
Thomas
The Earl Brothers
Hi, I can't recommend them enough:
THE EARL BROTHERS
Check out their 3 albums on cdbaby dot com. To my taste, the 2004 and 2006 albums with John McKelvy on vocals are the thrilling ones.
A new band with THE ancient tone!

Windward details
Thanks folks for friendly comments!
feltfan: I made some detailed pictures of the arms - hope they got what you like to see.
miles_archer: just didn't know that there is a bluegrass section here in this forum - I'll check it out, thanks. For me as a banjo picker I go...
military gear distribution in wartime
Baron, in my opinion there's no more need for any "wartime concepts" concerning jackets or other stuff. My wardrobe doesn't seem to be a museum, either. Let's get the proper fit ;) Thomas
