The difference is that the Eastman jacket is better contructed and uses (in this case) very nice leather. It actually looks like a WW2 jacket compared to the Avirex which is a fantasy jacket. The snaps and other parts are better on the Eastman. Stay away from Cockpit/Avirex crap! IMOAn Eastman House contract, like this one, is no more authentic than an Avirex compared to an original contract.
However, as Burt mentioned, the good thing is that you’ll be able to sell it at the same price if you choose to.
