Just ran across this info over at the hat place... Some of the best looking Chinese repros I've seen for great prices. These can be purchased through a TaoBao buying service. Here's the link to the G-1 offered. Scroll down to see some 'Eastman' and 'Toys McCoy' repros:

At first, I thought that the pics were of stolen originals, but after researching the 'Eastman Star' further, I saw a pirate 'jolly roger' pocket tag (appropriate huh? ) Selling for a bit over $400.00 USD:
EDIT: It appears that 'Pirates' is the name of the company.. LOL! I found this info on another site: "Pirates replica World War II VEGETABLE TANNED Horse Leather A-2 Air Force Flight Jacket Eastman 28557"
EDIT: The size 44 measurements don't look bad either:
Chest: Around 46.6"
Sleeves: Close to 26"
Shoulders: Close to 19"
Back Length: around 26"
