Welcome to the Eastman Leather Clothing Website, and to our range of specialist 40's style wartime flying jackets and accessories. This range of specialist 40's style wartime flying jackets and accessories, bomber jackets has been compiled for those of us who desire a truly authentic garment from that period. That is, a garment which in design, components, and quality, matches in every detail possible the original garment which it is a reproduction of. The nostalgia behind these styles is what makes bomber jackets them attractive. They were born out of a time of necessity, designed for a specific purpose - to function and protect under adverse and challenging conditions. Since then they have become a timeless fashion item, appealing to the rugged utilitarian image. Original flying jackets are collectors' items. They are hard to find, expensive to buy, and in most cases, due to their age, far too delicate to wear. They are without bomber jackets doubt investments, and for these reasons are no longer practical in use. So, for those of us who wish to be able to wear such a garment, these reproductions offer that fulfilment.
All the components that go into making an Eastman, have been painstakingly recreated at great expense. The materials and the methods of the manufacture of these garments were commonly available fifty bomber jackets years ago. Today, the ingredients needed to reproduce these materials are mostly gone, long ago superseded by more modern methods. To a large extent, this is what you are paying for in an Eastman garment. For, to have specially made, these materials require our suppliers to step out of their normal line of production, hence making them more costly to produce. Making these old style materials again requires starting from scratch - re-tooling, researching, digging down through old documents trying to find the original specs - and quite often it takes more than one bomber jackets go to get it right, absorbing tremendous amounts of time before doing so.
