Modern reproduction.
My guess an Eastman…
Wrong pocket flaps, wrong lower zipper box, wrong label graphics, wrong zipper, wrong size label.. Totally wrong collar points…etc.

dunno who the maker of this repro is, but it sure as shit aint Eastman.

I second Vic, this is not an Eastman reproduction.

Looks like it could be a BK to me - they offer that contract and give you your choice of leathers, which would explain the color.

 

[Silver Surfer]

bk doesn't screw up the collar lobes. pocket height, pocket flaps, and nomenclature label, at least from what I have seen. maybe an earlier 5*, before Shawn got the pattern down right. maybe a, or a, or a????, but, not an Eastman.

The knits and the waistband for me it's not from Eastman.

Leather looks very Eastman.

Leather looks very Eastman.

Agree, looks like the Eastman War Horse or whatever they called it. I had an Eastman RW and the leather looked exactly like this.
