Without getting into the debate about the rights and wrongs of ELC pricing, it does surprise me people feel so strongly about it when you can pretty much guarantee any day of the week there will be a bunch of ELC A-2s on EBay for half (or less) than the RRP. Maybe not the way to look at it, but the second hand market is so awash with these things that from my perspective I couldn’t give a damn what ELC charge RRP. I have a basically brand new ELC B3 I acquired for £500 (size 42, so nothing weird) and a very good condition ELC A-2 (‘house’ jacket) I got for £250. Maybe I just got lucky...?
As an aside the Combat Collections leaves me cold and ill just buy the real thing if I want it, for 1/3 of the price (at least in the case of the P-56) and be content I own something that will hold its value.
