Megan Fox was the reason I wanted to see the film. The robots, a distant second. I didn't think the jacket looked right because of the colour of the collar fleece. You'd think the producers (especially since Spielberg is one of them), would have taken a couple of hundred dollars out of the CGI...

First we've got Terminator Salvation with John Connor wearing a modified B3 and now we've got John Turturro's Agent Simmons wearing a G1 or M422 (I have no idea). I know that flight jackets have featured heavily in the current crop of war movies; Pearl Harbour, the upcoming Redtails. But they...

So do you think it was a B3 and then converted? Or a B6 that they added an extra collar strap to? I thought it was pretty slim for a B3 as well. If they made the jacket from scratch as some kind of shearling flight jacket homage, why did the wardrobe people bother with the collar snaps (if...

I just saw Terminator Salvation today (not as bad as I thought it would be considering the reviews), and I had a little mark-out moment when I noticed what John Connor was wearing. It's on the teaser poster (not the actual release poster), and it's actually what he wears in the movie. I was...

They tried to charge me $756 for a B3 when their website priced it at $688. I complained about it, and Rene gave it to me at the website price. They're pretty good with the customer service, and all of my emails were answers. Some prompt, some not, but they were all answered. In the end, I...

There's a kind of macabre pleasure in seeing the NZ dollar tank along side with the AUD. At least an A2 from RMNZ would still cost me the same now as it would have 5 months ago. That being said, 5 months ago, I would have gone straight to GW for my A2 instead. Now I probably won't see one for...

I first heard about HPA when I was looking for a pair of Sugarcane 1955s a few years back. Considering that you can order them from a proxy for about 2/3 the price they were asking, I thought the pricing was ridiculous. Now with Hinoya and other Rakuten stores opening up for worldwide shipping...

Lena Headley looks pretty good in it. Probably one of those "military inspired" fashion jackets. It could have been made for her by a costume dept, but then why didn't they just make her an A2 jacket in her size?

It's Secret Asian Man. My friends kind of say I look like him. :roll: :lol: Pit-to-pit is 22, like David said. It was advertised as 21.75 which is close enough. When I measured it, it came out to just a smidge under 22.

Thanks David, Getting used to the fit. Love the leather. HH is really different to goat.

Hi. Many thanks to Kevin for the jacket. It's condition is exactly as how he described it, barring a few cat hairs or so. :lol: Fits very trim. Not so much in the chest, but it's tight in the shoulders (I've read that the Dubow is supposedly a bit more tighter in the shoulders than other...

Thought I'd give a heads up to any size 38s here. Too small for me unfortunately. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EASTMAN-A2-RUSSET ... 286.c0.m14

Bidding has ended with the jacket going for US$900. :o Same price as a new one! If summer wasn't coming up, I'd be very tempted to just order one in my size from ELC (pending funds, probably will do it that way in March, unless I find a better bargain in my size) :roll:

Got a return message from the seller. Apparently he's 5'11 and 14.5 stone (95kg). I'm 5'9 and 85kg (about 22lbs difference) and that jacket looks fitted like the way I'd want the jacket to fit me. So, guess I would be swimming in this one. :( Going to have to wait for a size 40 to become...

^^ Already have. Just curious to see if anyone here owns an ELC Irwin has any opinions.
