“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 reproduction manufacturer sources the exact same materials used back then. They commission every single component—down to the finest details—from the original parts manufacturers of that era, recreating each piece to the exact same specifications as the originals and bringing them back to life for the modern era. Their products are true reproductions that can be called authentic.
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.
The TYPE B-2 cap is a sheepskin flight cap adopted in 1939.In addition to being worn with winter flight jackets such as the TYPE B-3 and TYPE B-6, it was designated as standard issue for ground crew around 1944 and worn alongside the TYPE D-1. This model is a faithful reproduction of the B-2 cap, recreated down to the finest details and form.
The sheepskin is sourced from North American hides, and the pile length has been trimmed to 1/4 inch, matching the original.
The brim is made of vegetable-tanned steer hide, and horsehide is lavishly used for the brim trim.
This is an unwashed product.
