Wow Jan, you done good with those replacement Lofgrens. Did you nail the fit this time?

*slightly* tight in the toes - toes have about half a thumb’s width worth of space. But the width is perfect, and I love how light they are on my feet compared to the previous pair. I might actually prefer this kind of fit in the future.

It's too warm outside to wear this in anger but I'm too excited not to share...
I thought it was time to get a G1 and after some excellent tutoring from @Brettafett I pulled the trigger on a decent Star D beater. Sadly it didn't quite fit (wanted some room for layers) so it's back on eBay. Then I remembered that @Skyhawk had listed a near mint Ralph Edwards C with exactly the size I needed. It arrived yesterday from Jay and I couldn't be more pleased (even though I don't look like it in the pictures)!

Looks great Jan! I've had my eye on a used ELC on another site for going on 6 months now...just waiting a the price to drop. I finally sent the seller a message today with an offer. I'm not getting my hopes up though. It's the perfect measurements for me, but I've never worn an A-1 and won't take a $900 chance on it.

If it’s been up there for 6 months you can pretty much make a reasonable offer and it will be yours

The A-1’s an awkward fit, IMHO: kinda square in the shoulders, tight across the back, but plenty of space across the front of the chest. It’s tight in the sleeves, but with a relaxed lower torso. It’s like the inverse of how JC describes the Cable A-2:
It’s like Cable managed to square the circle between comfort and a sharp design, whereas this pattern attempts that, and winds up with the worst of both worlds. It could just be a bad pattern for my body type.
None of this is a knock against Eastman - I really believe they copied the original as best as they reasonably could. I just think whoever drew up the pattern back circa 1930 wasn’t a talented patterner.
I’m glad I’ve got one in my collection for variety, but it’s not my favorite jacket type. Definitely recommend getting one used, especially since the cape skin is seriously nice. All of the materials are top notch, in fact.

Looks a little trim on you but not bad . I’d wear it for a while and give it a chance to stretch out a little . Try wearing a hoodie with it even though it will be tight. Just give it a chance to stretch out without forcing anything . You might just be happy with what you have.
