OFFICERS' GLOVES / USAAF SUMMER 1942 FLYING PATTERN / HORSE HIDE / NATURAL

Lot No. ELC-003


"EASTMAN LEATHER CLOTHING" is a British brand that meticulously reproduces vintage flight jackets from the 1939–1945 era, with a focus on American military clothing.
With a history spanning over 30 years, this brand is a reproduction manufacturer that can truly be called “authentic”: to source the exact same materials as back then, it commissions every single component—down to the finest details—from original parts manufacturers, recreating them to the exact same specifications as the originals and bringing them back to life in the modern era.
Their greatest strength lies in in-house production at their own factory, where they maintain quality, advance their craftsmanship, and ensure consistent manufacturing.

Their aesthetic is rooted in military style, while their other label, “ELMC,” was launched as a collection inspired by the mid-20th-century motorcycle scene, offering everything from biker styles to sportswear.

This model is a faithful reproduction of the 1942-style officers’ gloves.
Although not officially adopted by the U.S. military, these gloves were procured by the U.S. Army Air Corps. Because they are unlined, they were highly favored by fighter pilots who required keen sensitivity in their fingertips.

Like the vintage originals, these gloves are made from high-quality horsehide. The leather is supple yet durable, and it will mold to your hands and provide a better fit the more you wear them.Above all, watching it age with each wear is one of the greatest joys.

Perfect not only for cold weather but also for a wide range of activities—such as riding a motorcycle or working in the garage—making it a great gift choice!
