All the A-2s in these photos are Goodwears worn by the main actors. The B-10 is maybe an Eastman? Anyway- they all look great!

Probably The Real McCoy's/The Few in NZ ... they supplied 50 jackets, including two different B-10 contracts.

The one worn by the character JD Little is amazing. They all look good by that one is my fav by far.

WW2 photo by way of comparison (very favorable IMO)...

Some of the leather looks washed.

All the jackets are GW except Michael B Jordon's jacket - second chap on the left minus the cover.

Was he unlucky or was just last to the wardrobe fitting room then ?

He's just a baggy arse F/O. Probably outranked...

Wow, they look damn cool! (with the exception of a couple of those non-Diamond Crushers).

Very nice looking jackets. Some of the guys sure have on the extras! A-11's, Wing Bracelets, Rings, Ect. The B-10 looks like a Eastman to me.

You know- I'm not even sure about that! John may be mistaken on his own website! He made all the jackets for the main actors and the particular jacket Marv has pointed out looks pretty non-Eastmanny to me. The lining color and the seam allowance in the collar says "Goodwear" to me- not Eastman. I guess it's possible I'm wrong...

"I guess it's possible I'm wrong.."

Never...take that back now!!

John did contact me to clarify this point and he had made a mistake on his website - this has now been rectified, so Jeff, you were correct after all.

They look good. I agree with John that there seems to be hot water treatment, not unsurprisingly. the variety of dress is a great indicator of intelligent advice being properly heeded.
I don't doubt that the makers will in some way go overly hollywood on it but as long as that is limited I have high expectations of the film, they are getting their act together.

I expect some uncomfortable scenes such as those in 'Harts war'

I wonder if these pictures are on Eastman's website? Nice jackets and artwork to be sure.

Does the studio still have the jackets? and what is the address? we need to get a team together a la Mission Impossible.
