    Very well preserved no name 27753 A2 size 44

    And the same size as Aero 15142, Bronco 29191, Dubow 27798, and Poughkeepsie, from what I'm told. I kinda also recall that Perry 16175 falls into this production quantity, but my memory of the conversation I had with Charles DiSipio is now not as strong as I wish it was. Anyway, considering...

    Nice ELC Werber 40 Reg on Ebay

    According to HPA, there have been no changes to hides or patterns since ELC introduced the Werber in 2007; ELC Warhorse isn't used on Werber or Cable RC. Here's an ELC Werber from a forum member that sold on Ebay as discussed in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11844&hilit=werber It's jacket...

    Another champion stallion in your stable - well done, sir! According to what Charles at HPA told me, this was a contract of 50, 000, and that's in the top 3 best I've ever seen of this contract. Saunders

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    Those with complaints of things “undisclosed” and “gouging” make me laugh. Firstly, “gouging” would imply an unreasonable form of pure profit, but it hasn’t been successfully demonstrated to be either unreasonable or pure profit. It MAY be gouging, and I’ll concede to not knowing what is in...

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    Re: Eastman price gouging on overseas sales Contraire, counselor. “Nasty allegations” refers to inflammatory and leading words like “gouging” and “sneaky.” There is only an opinion about some activity which some want seen as conforming with the meaning of these words but there is no hard...

    Re: Eastman price gouging on overseas sales “Nasty allegations” refers to words like “gouging” and “sneaky.” There is only an opinion about activity that has been colored to conform with the meaning of these words but no hard proof of activity consistent with the meaning of these words, hence...

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    I'm back from vacation now and not as amazed as I wish I was to find this thread still cooking ... I'd think selling wholesale to a retailer would offer numerous opportunities to discount, which is what wholesale is all about: One customer, one large payment, minimum orders in quantity...

    Who has a new line Bill Kelso A2?

    Now you're back to comparing another retailer's price vs. the ELC retail price. That retailer chooses to discount a product they bought with their name on it and ELC is retailing their own product at full price. And, as I said before, ELC likely has different needs as a manufacturer, one of...

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    Re: Eastman price gouging on overseas sales It's not an attack, it's an observation followed by an opinion. If you or someone else wants to get defensive, that's a choice you make. This is in direct response to a comment posted in THIS thread, so it would logically follow to be commented on...

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    Re: Eastman price gouging on overseas sales Well, I'l tell ya how I came to this conclusion, John, and I'll do it respectfully, too, cuz I do respect ya. Firstly, I made this calculation on the basis of you being the only one responsible for making the jackets, which is what I thought...

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    Re: Eastman price gouging on overseas sales What?!?!? Are you saying GW jackets are no longer the solitary result of the hands, mind and eyes of John? If so, wouldn't that lead to some sort of mass hysteria among loyal followers who may begin lining up for ritual sepuku now that their...

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    Perhaps my view is too simple, but some of this bloviating seems to be about wishing for something that doesn't exist. Some have reasoned themselves into a corner, theoretically fixating on a notion that one can actually get a new ELC jacket for less money somewhere in the world, but, it seems...

    Who has a new line Bill Kelso A2?

    Is VAT really 20% of the total item price (495.00) or does the total item price contain 20% of VAT determined from a lower number (price of goods sold); in the case of 495.00, the VAT 20% could be 412.50. I think the total item price contains 20% VAT, so the VAT would actually be 82.50 (total...
