As luck would have it the week after I received the original Ralph Edwards G-1 (a page or 2 back) a chance to acquire an Eastman in size 48 presented itself..
This is the fit I’m after..
Bad pics but Fit opinions welcome

Anyone after an original Ralph Edwards in a wide but slightly short size 48 .. you can find me in the PM’s

We’re getting Florida weather here today, so I’m relegated to basement jacket dress up again. I figure, there’s no limits to what I can wear down here. GW Rough Wear 17756:

Boyo, much better fit by an outstanding maker. Enjoy the jacket and wear in good health.

Sick bike! When my pop came home from flying in the Korean War and French Indochina he went out and bought this used Harley and rode it like a maniac from what I hear.
He was only 23 in this photo and already seen so much.

That's one awesome photo and a splendid bike!

Imagine being 23 and already served in 2 wars ...

The bike would be worth a fortune today with all those special options like additional chrome etc.

it seems that sizing up for the bigger guys is always a problem for them. its good to see that the elc is a spot on fit for ya.

I need me an Eastman. SUPERB!

@Boyo 55J14s are not easy to find, especially in decent condition and at the right fit, so this is a great catch.
Much better fit than the other one and looks to be in great condition. Enjoy!

Alpha Ind. MA-1 TT version…more like a L-2a, less bulky than a standard MA-1.

I am desperately waiting to replace the knitwear with something more authentic, but so far these parts refuse to die. They fade to a light purple, a bit like it was available from BR years ago… but they hold their structure.

It's fantasy, but looks cool! If it were me, I'd patch it like something a test pilot from, let's say Lockheed, could have had as a private purchase in the 50s.

I like the testimonial from an "Apache machine gunner", who (according to Stu) has worn the B-3 in "the kill zone" in Afghanistan...

Nice gift to a friend!
Over ten years ago I gave an Eastman Werber A-2 to a good friend who works as a bouncer and tattoo artist in NYC.
Needless to say he's given it a ton of love over the years and it's looking the part. For those that have bashed Eastman knits, here's an example to the contrary how they hold up.

Any chance that pal was the ole forum member, Miles Archer?

No, just a plain jacket, but the price was right and it feels like its going to keep me warm in the winter.

 

[blackrat2]

Sure thing , very practical jackets and for what you paid a absolute bargain

Me and my brother. I gave him an Arlo A-2 for his birthday. He was happy!
