Hello there,
Long time lurker, first time poster....
I imported this from TOYO Entrerprise in Japan, as I couldn't find anyone that sold this longer version, and I've been after one for quite some time. Turns out that I should have researched it more (even more than I did!), as the sizing with this is a little bit off (I was following the size tips on historypreservation.com), and I needed a 40, rather 42 (even though I am a 42" chest).
Anyway, it's now up for sale (here, and on ebay). Looking for £550 to cover my costs, which is pretty cheap, considering they're going for $950 on selfedge.com when they're in stock, but am open to sensible offers...
Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking!
Brand new with tags - tried on, but it's a wee bit too big for me.
Imported by myself from Japan
Not available anywhere in the UK, but you can buy it (if you can find it in stock) in the US for $950.
This is the 'long' version marketed to the West, which gives another couple of inches in the length.
From the TOYO Website:
This Black L-2B is produced true to the original L-2B flight jacket that was intended for wear in the light zone except colors of materials which is black. Additionally, the flap tab at the bottom is removed.
