When did Jeff/Makumbe ""leave"" the forum? I joined in december 2008 but don't remember any of his posts...ausreenactor said:Jeff was very clear in stating his OCD was a key driver in his jacket pursuits. Certainly the leading candidate for the all time 'Most GWs Owned Award'.

VERY knowledgeable guy, just rubbed many the wrong way, on many a subject, more than once. Probably bouncing around under a new ID?

I never heard that Eastman makes A2s for BR. Doesn't make sense to me...

Are you saying that Eastman sells Eastman-labelled Asian-made Buzz Rickson A-2s in Europe? I would like to see some evidence for that.Jeff M said:Steve27752 said:Eastman DO NOT make Buzz Rickson jackets.
Correct.
Eastman does not make BR jackets, ie, a jacket with the BR label on it.
It is my understanding however that as part of the business agreement between BR and Eastman, where Eastman is the European distributor of BR merchandise, BR agreed to use Eastman as the supplier of Buzz Rickson A2's in Europe. (With the Eastman label on it.) or, what amounts to the same thing, not selling Buzz Rickson labeled A2's in Europe.
If somebody knows different please correct me.
