Eastman B-3 wrongly listed, BIN

[havocpaul]

He says it's an Irvin and made by Aviation Leathercraft but looks like an ELC 'Redskin'B-3 from the one pic he posted, AL never made B-3's like this IMO....

Hmmm, someone obviously tipped him off, listing completely changed!

Could have been a bargain for someone.

he didn't change the BIN but suspicious how he had no idea what jacket it was especially as it is on the tag (ok, the Redskin B-3's don't say Eastman but he was adamant it said 'Aviation Leathercraft!)

Not everyone is as wise as many mebers here.
I had the opportunity to look at the jacket this evening (the owner was going to be 10/15 minutes from my home) but turned it down as the size was going to be to large for me.
The owner has limited knowledge in this sector and was pleased to have more information to be able to list more accurately to have a better chance to sell it.
I think he is genuine

I don't, I think it's a hot jacket. I also contacted him and he said he had it from new but had hardly ever worn it.

Well, it IS sheepskin lined.

At least it's not Mustang... :shock:

True Scott! More photos would help sell this redskin as the BIN is fair.

 

[havocpaul]

Well he may not have the knowledge sometimes seen here but he surely knew where he bought it, I agree with John, something isn't quite right but hey, it's all clearer now he's been educated!

Ebay is looking more like a graveyard these days for used Eastman sheepskins. Several are on or have been and have had zero bids.
Vic did very well with his though. UK only stuff never realises it's full potential.
