Good Day,
While still waiting on my GW Werber, I was able to pick up an ELC Roughwear 1401 w/ NOS Talon zip for $300 slightly used (purchased 7 - 8 years ago). It's my first real higher end repro. My previous A-2's have been an Avirex and a US Authentic. This jacket is definitely lighter in weight than the US Authentic and doesn't seem to have much wear. I only have the pictures I was emailed originally. Tonight I plan on giving it a hot water treatment to personalize the fit and hopefully bring out some more grain.
