Eastman Leather Co. Type A-2 Flight Jacket – Pearl Harbor Edition

"There is nothing like an Eastman A-2 leather jacket, except an original!" Selling a stunning Eastman Leather A-2 Pearl Harbor Edition, handcrafted in Ivybridge, England. This is not a mass-produced garment; it is a painstakingly recreated piece of history. Each jacket is handcrafted by a single artisan from start to finish, taking approximately 8 hours of dedicated labor to complete. In 1999, Eastman was commissioned to provide the A-2 jackets for the movie Pearl Harbor. To meet the producers' demands for authenticity, they developed the Time Worn® finish—a specialized aging process applied by hand only after the garment is fully constructed. This shortcuts years of wear to provide a natural, lived-in appearance with subtle creasing and aging from day one. Key Features: • Material: High-grade Vegetable-Tanned Horsehide. • Finish: Hand-processed Time Worn® for a seasoned, broken-in look. • Hardware: Period-correct brass Talon zipper, dull nickel collar hook, and WWII ball press studs. • Lining/Knits: 100% cotton USAAF-spec lining and 100% worsted wool ribbed cuffs. • Origin: Proudly Made in England. Condition & Value: The jacket is in excellent shape with a beautiful professional patina. Note: The inner lining has been professionally reinforced by a master tailor to prevent future wear. This maintenance is virtually invisible when worn and ensures longevity. Selling for almost half the current retail price (Retail: ~40,000+ CZK / €1,600+). A rare chance to own a masterpiece right out of the box.
