Masters of the Air Jackets to be sold

[John Lever]

According to Charles Discipio all the jackets used in the production were rented to the production company and will be sold at some point.
Not sure how this affect used and new sales but it is interesting.

Please keep us posted.

Interested to see how these look, particularly the 'timeworn' treated fleece on the B-3's.

Also curious to see what the majority of B-3 Jackets produced for the film are exactly...whether they're .50 cal or RW or house brand Etc. Most interesting.

The B3 collars were treated with some type of paste

Namely porridge.

Namely porridge.

And Golden syrup

 

[Griffon_301]

... and I guess they will go for rather hefty sums. even more so with all the porridge and golden syrup on them.
I hope though they didn't use marmite... in that case, that's a no go for me then

Marmite? Nope.

If you're going to bung a breakfast spread on a flying jacket at least go for the Good Wear of breakfast spreads...

And Golden syrup

Seriously?

I'm with Phil @Griffon_301 and absolutely my expectation is prices for those prop-jackets will skyrocket within hours - probably out of my budget anyway and i wouldn't like a jacket with a unidentifiable smear on the fleece anyway ...

300 jackets could be a very shrewd move by Eastman

I had an email exchange with Gary (elc), and he wrote that the a-2s that will be for sale are the ones made for the series, ie: mota. The stars of the series’s jackets will be kept, for obvious reasons. I reckon that when offered, there might be some kind of a used jacket pricing.

I once bought a McCoy's b3 from an extra in Redtails. He was given the jacket for free at the end of shooting.

It was a good deal right?

 

[John Lever]

Several years ago now can't remember the price.

...But has it got paste on it?

 

[John Lever]

No it was a superb RW redskin

Seems ELC already started to sell stuff - i doubt the jackets are listed are out of a "overproduction" from the movies/series???

I don't think these are the jackets worn by the actors, just the same ELC styles they were kitted out with.
