I will really look forward to seeing the finished item when available, a good choice of jacket

I'm surprised that Eastman has decided to make this one but delighted nonetheless. I better start saving now; I'm sure the price will also surprise me! I can't wait to see the finished product.

Great news to hear that some more M444 repros are coming out, it a brilliant pattern and I bet it gets popular. Looking forward to seeing some finished articles.

Well many of his A2s are all in his A2 Flight Jacket Manual!

I figured that, but I know of at least a couple beauties that he has that were not in there! I'm sure they were just the tip of the iceberg so to speak.

I'm sure you are correct Jeff.

John sent me some pics but I don't have the email anymore. the fur color still needed to be tweaked still but he is on it.

ELC have always gone to the effort to reproduce their own zippers and now buckles are on the parts list, which is a nice touch.

I was offered a test model from John,fitted with nos Talon and the two buckles were from an original he used for the pattern...I forwarded pics to Mr Lever and got rid of the email also,if you have them John see if JC will let you post them
I am sure the ELC will also be right up there..one way or another I think all the makers are making improvements on what they offer..yes prices reflect this but then we are an awkward bunch and will only find fault in slightest thing wrong...I include BK in top maker list now btw
