Anyone interested in an Eastman A2 with a inside pocket !!!!
Oh and orange lining (or is that mean't to be red)

I can see why he could not return it
Still 11 bids already and 9 nine days to go must tell me something ..

And it surely would be ideal for the collector who has everything .....

The leather is way too slick for a good A2. The Goodwear is still the gold standard in my book. I just wish they weren't so expensive.

Yep, too shiny and slick. I've never bought an Eastman and won't until they get rid of the "shiny" look.

So you don't think the shine is down to the lighting?

I'm surprised at the sleeve length ... The sleeves were too short when I received it. 27" long, how tall is he? :?

The A2 is the previous version that ELC sold and looking at the photos, I think some of the shine is down to the lighting and flash used.

However the pocket flaps look way too big on the jacket and the leather way too smooth compared to my 27752 (current ELC model) so Eastman's definately seem to have amended the pattern along with the pocket snaps for the new model.

I don't think it's all shiny, but Eastmans just look too perfect for me. I need at least somewhat of a vintage look in a jacket I'm going to wear. I always like wearing an original G-1 type flight jacket as they are plentiful and much more comfortable to wear than an A-2.
