Why not just send it back to Eastman for repairs ?

Including shipping (twice), total cost could be about 150 bucks.
As far as I know, the ELC B-10 is made in China. And I don't know, ELC has sufficient repair-expertise. Last year for instance, my '90s ELC horsehide A-2 needed replacement of the (rather fragile) knits (cuffs, waistband), and ELC applied new stichholes, now my A-2 is about 1 inch shorter... :evil:

ELC B-10 made in China?! No way that's true. Maybe the ATF or Pike Bros B-10's are made in the Far East or India/Pakistan but not Eastman jackets.

Is it just the shirts?

Here's a B10 with character... (semi) professionally done field repairs I assume,
a Bell's Aviation offering...Not a repro...but repaired repro's won't hurt
(negatively effect) the authentic "look" that we are after...
It mimicks original (patched up) flight jackets with real user wear! So enjoy/use the jackets!
