Eastman Leather recently shared on social media some photos of its collection of original jackets.
It is very impressive !

ELC mentions the Ivybridge showroom. I'd love to see this !

Hell yes. Dangerous though....
Likely make you fork out for another jacket on the spot.

Incredible! Love this!

Must be examples from almost every manufacturer. I love how it shows, clearly, the variation among originals.
Different shades of russet and seal, re-dyes, finishes... various different colour knits etc...

Thats a ton of ££$$ right there

Well ….. so much for not putting your original jackets on hangers

That is a kick ass collection, Gary could sell that off and take a nice long vacation somewhere.

Was there three weeks ago and had a look at the A-2 collection & a coffee with Rob…very impressed. The ELC showroom gets ever larger too..even got to try on the new light weight Irvin type..C3 vest and A-2 orders in.

I had to look close -- I don't think they're hangers, but demi-mannequin busts.

Not sure how much better they are, but they probably have more of a "shoulder" to them.
