My Eastman D-1 is one of my favourite jackets, and they wear really nicely.
Omarco, you may get lucky on import fees. I buy regularly from overseas, but mainly from Japan and US. Some stuff sales through customs and other stuff just gets stuck and the fees pile on. No pattern to it at all. It's most frustrating when an item takes a couple of days to come half way round the world just to languish for a couple of weeks with the faceless customs folks at Parcel Farce.
Good luck with your purchase and can't wait to see the pics.
This time next year Mindful and yourself will be looking at B-3's. It's a well trodden path...!

Their sheepskins are outstanding! I had a duo tones B-3 a few years ago that I bought from a forum member and sold to one. I can't remember who bought that B-3 but it was really a nice jacket and I would love to see some photos of how it looks now.

RM just seem to add that 'something' that no-one else can. The combination of great patterns, materials and workmanship make them superb. I have been looking for a size 44 B-3 for years and years. They never come up for sale as their owners just keep them. I did have a 46 but it was too big.
I love this -

You've changed your tune. I'm glad you kept it.mindful said:waiting for pictures im so glad i kept my eastman D1 i love it i recommend everyone to get one
here a few quick and dirty phone pics, i'm afraid they don't do it justice. i'd do some fit pics aswell but my girlfriend is already looking at me funny for posting pics of my jacket on the internet
The cut, fit and the quality of materials is fantastic. I think the fit is just about perfect for me which was a relief as i wouldn't want to send it back!
oh and this thing feels totally bullet proof. The leather trim is thick and sturdy and the sheepskin is nice and dense, doesn't seem to fluffy.
