Was Eastman even manufacturing in the 80's?
Maybe they changed their name since then. :lol:

Its a rare Mrs Eastman line

There seems to be an automotive theme to ebay items today: there is a 'Goodyear' A-2 for sale, as mentioned in another post here. Perhaps we'll see a jacket listed as "Olds" instead of 'Vintage', or a jacket with 'Mopar' instead of 'Conmar' zippers?

 

[Jeff M]

Contacted the seller.
He notes it is "definitely an Eastman", and that the label is "worn".

 

[stevetfire]

this is old topic...
it's not the first one Eastman vs Eastmam...
the old forum has this thread ...

I think one time Easman had "bad" label done and they used it!
the N looks like M!

Yes I'll go along with that ,definatly looks like an M as opposed to worn. :|

If this is so why did ELC sell the jacket with an inaccurate label? Surely someone must have noticed before it left the factory?

 

[HHjackets]

it's not an 'M', that letter is not even as wide as an 'M'. it's the same width as the 'N' in the word 'CLOTHING'
i did ask Gary once and he thought it could have been a glitch in the making of the label, it has a missing one little 'Pick' at the bottom that would turn it into an 'N'.
i didn't ask him why they still went ahead and used it!

Its real, I had one and asked Gary about it a few years ago.
