Hi,These are some pics of my second hand ELC house in seal HH. I was told it had the" time worn "finish. I gave it a few HW/T with dryer to shrink to size since it was very roomy in the torso and it indeed helped.This is the final product. What are your opinions on the graining and look? Thanks-Rob

Hi Rob,

Pictures look interesting.
What size is the jacket and I guess what size were you aiming at,if as you say pre HWT it was roomy.

A picture or two wearing it would be good to see as well

Hi, the size is a 44. ELC`s website gives the sizing chart and when I plugged in my height,chest size and weight it said I needed the 44. The 44 was roomy. The shoulders are ok but the torso and the upper diameter of the sleeves were big. It is better now.The sleeve length is fine and the length of the body is right below the belt.I will try and take some pics of me wearing it and ad them to the ones that I have.

Is that supposed to be horse? Did it feel very soft when you first got it?
Those ELC knits sure shrink up.

Hi, I got this second hand. I was told it had the "time worn" finish .It was supple and broken in when I received it.It is very easy to wear,not stiff. The waist knits did seem narrow to me when I got it and on the looser side. I did have to shrink it for a better fit. It did blouse a bit much at first. -Rob

Wear it constantly now. Looks like you can later a little under it which isn't a bad thing

Looks great, as mentioned just wear it constantly and it will look and feel even better..........I did the same to my ELC Pearl Harbor A2 and the process improved the fit and help bring out the grain in the steerhide.

I don't wear it as much now as my current wearer is an ELC RW 27752 which is a great jacket, however the PH A2 is still by far the comfortable A2 that I have owned.
