Really into all the Buzz Rickson/Eastman/Aero repro items at the moment. Next large purchase is definetly going to be an Eastman/Aero leather.

Some rad looking stuff in the a/w 12 Buzz Rickson line as highlighted on Selectism today

http://www.selectism.com/news/2012/04/11/buzz-ricksons-autumnwinter-2012-a-closer-look/

Both the Eastman and Area leathers (at least their A1s and A2s) are also great value and tough as hell

The Buzz Rickson chambray I've got is great quality

that is slim! The 38 may even be a little too tight on me

edit: that's a 16.5" shoulder!

The Eastman A2 is a replica WW2 jacket cut to original 1940s spec so is shorter in the body than an Elmendorf. Quality of Eastman / Buzz / Real McCoy is second to none in my opinion and I've owned a lot of Vis, but not an Elmendorf. I think the quality of my Eastman A2 is amazing. But if you want one with a bit more length you'd have to order the long version.

Didn't realise you could still return after ordering - thought it was all non-returnable made-to-order stuff.

Am definitely gonna cop an A2 once summer is out of the way. That'll be my winter jacket budget blown early Cry
