Aero leathers pike brothers B15 vs Eastman B15

I think if you go on there site and read the descriptions the B15-A was original material and B-10 is a modern material made the same way
I assume they maybe only have so much of this material and like the Nos Talons they used back in the day, when it’s gone it’s gone
Will jump to there site later but think that also accounts for cost of the B15-A

Yep
All three cloth jackets use different material
B15 being End Zone Twill as was used by Roughwear for that contract and the A being Nos material and Nos fasteners on the pockets

Just read the thread glad to see you went with Eastman. I've had both an Eastman and a Buzz B-10.... Eastman all day long and twice on Sunday !!
OK.
Will part with my twice worn B-15A size 46” and buy a BR equivalence instead...not happy at all with my B-15A from ELC.

What is not good about it, I assume if it’s a recent purchase it’s made from original material and fasteners, can’t be many other makers boasting that
I see what you mean about the label colour but I can’t imagine Eastman not making there label to that of an original given there research into these products
You able to get some worn side by side shots up so the more knowledgeable folk can chime in

Thx for it.
Will not give it chance to get worn.
Will sell it.
Labels side by side ( BR B-10 vs. ELC B-15A orange tag are already in the posts).
Thx anyway

Thx, lets see, guess that at 400 Euro shipped wwd it should be an easy task...lets see, maybe one of the B-15A ELC freaks will make me an offer I can decently accept...

Thought it'd be interesting to see an original Rough Wear B-15A. Here's one in unissued condition. These are super warm jackets, much warmer than a B-10.

B-15A just sold and paid via PP.
Thx to all.

I never received a response to my question so I'll ask it again.
When was this jacket listed as being for sale? It was never listed in the Buy /Sell section. I'm specifically asking because I was interested in purchasing the jacket and waited for the listing to appear however it seems to have been sold in a side bar agreement.
