About

Eastman Leather Clothing is a British company that produces replicas of vintage military flight jackets. The business is located in Ivybridge, Devon, and was established in 1984. The company reproduces garments modeled after those worn by military personnel during World War II.

History

Gary Eastman founded the company in 1984. Eastman Leather Clothing started by replicating rare vintage flight jackets. The company’s operations expanded beyond its initial garage location and began producing larger volumes of military jacket reproductions.

Manufacturing

Eastman Leather Clothing manufactures all jackets at its factory in Ivybridge, Devon. Each jacket is made by one machinist who completes the entire garment. The company maintains in-house production facilities for its garments.

Construction and materials

The company uses vegetable-tanned horsehide and sheepskin for its jackets, with materials primarily sourced from Italy and the United States. Traditional tanning methods produce materials that match the look and construction of historical garments. Zippers and press studs are produced according to original military specifications.

Products

Eastman Leather Clothing sells reproductions of World War II-era jackets, including the A-2 and B-3 models. The "Original Maker" series features jackets based on patterns from wartime contractors. The company also operates a sub-brand, Eastman Leather Motorcycle Club (ELMC), which focuses on replica jackets inspired by American motorcycle culture of the mid-twentieth century. A notable footwear product is the Eastman Tanker Boots.
