Don't know if they carry it any more, or are sold out, but you can try www.atthefront.com

I'd pull the trigger on that jacket. I have two of the old Eastman tanker jackets and love them both. I have never handled a Buzz Rickson tanker, so I cant give you that comparison. The one I wear the most has a faded OD #3 look, making it more khaki. It's starting to fray at the points that...

Are there any members, besides myself, who live in the St. Louis, MO area? And if so, do any of you own a Goodwear A-2 jacket? A friend and myself are considering buying Goodwear's but would like to see one in the flesh first. If anyone lives in the Louisville, KY area and is plannin on...

Twelve O'Clock High had them.

They have had problems in the past with promises not kept but are getting better. The website hasn't been updated in over a decade but they do have a current ebay page. Their Type II service shoes are the best (IMO) on the market as far as accuracy is concerned and break in very well. I have...

I think he also goes by the name Barry Lyndon on ebay,

Not too sure if this has been mentioned but what about "Psycho" in "Stripes"? Does anyone know if the A-2 he was wearing was original or a well worn repro?

My eyes hurt now.

Does anyone know if the character "Psycho", or Francis, in the movie Stripes was wearing a repro A-2 or an original? Everytime I see that flick, I lean toward an original.

Just my personal opinion, but the tie to Pakistan is the reason why I don't buy much from him anymore. I do find it odd that he relocated his business to the UAE.

Re: Tanker Jackets - How Would You Rank The CURRENT Editions When Eastman had there name on the Tanker jackets a while back, I thought, and still think, they were the best on the market. I know Mash Co. in Japan made them but I wish Eastman still used Mash. I have two of them and they're...
