“This range of specialist vintage style flying jackets and accessories has been compiled for those of us who desire a truly authentic garment. That is, a garment which in design, components, and quality matches every detail possible the original garment it is a reproduction of.

The nostalgia behind these styles is what makes them attractive. They were born out of a time of necessity, and designed for a specific purpose – to function and protect under adverse and challenging conditions. Since then they have become timeless design classics, appealing to the rugged utilitarian image.

Original flying jackets are collectors’ items; they are hard to find, expensive to buy, and in most cases far too delicate to wear. They are without doubt investments, and for these reasons are no longer practical in use. For those of us who wish to wear such a garment these reproductions offer that fulfilment. Attention to detail, is at the heart of making a perfect reproduction; when buying an Eastman garment, you are purchasing just that!

All the components that go into making our products have been painstakingly recreated at great expense; the materials and methods of manufacturing that were commonly available fifty years ago have all but vanished today. Producing them again requires starting from scratch, absorbing tremendous amounts of time in doing so.”
