About This Jacket:

This jacket is an earlier Eastman reproduction of Star's contract A-2. The leather used is quite good, looking like many original jackets and having veg tanned qualities (scuffs easy and shows wear). The overall cut is quite accurate to Star jackets that I've seen, especially the collar and the pocket design. Overall as a 42 is about the same as an original, not larger like some Eastmans have been. The lining has a strong reddish color as Star jackets did. Details such as the original WWII Talon zipper are a great touch.
