ELC Rough Wear B-3 Question...

[ausreenactor]

Gents...

Spied some pics of what I THINK is an ELC Rough Wear B-3. Did ELC offer the B-3 with a Hookless zipper at any stage? The current models come with the ELC Crown zipper. I certainly prefer the look of the Hookless hardware.







Any input greatly appreciated. Thank you...as always...

I think it has always been an extra cost option.

well, well well, i do believe that elc b-3 is one of my old jacs. i had the elc crown taken out and replaced with a hookless. perhaps someone else did the same, but im pretty sure thats my old jac. i had to have one of the hanger chain sides resewn to the back, as it had come loose, so if the jac in question has a resewn hanger chain side resewn, its a positive id. to the best of my knowledge, gary does not offer any different zipper choices, on any of his jacs. never did, and probably never will.
