ELC do not make the shirts.

I guess my two just went up in value... This is why I save stuff in the bags...
ELC = Out of stock..

SM Wholesale don't do them.

Anyone have a pair for sale? I'm looking.

Anyone have a pair for sale? I'm looking.

Eastman only did the Rangoon scalloped pocket flap shirts. The shirts shown in Catch-22 are the standard square flap.
But, just to brag, I own both of ELC's Pinks and Greens Rangoon shirts....but I ain't sellin' sorry.
I'm surprised that ELC still sells the pants but they won't continue producing the shirts.... must have been a heavy investment to recoup and just wasn't worth continuing. Its not really a style just anyone would wear. I would imagine only re-enactors or collectors that want a shirt for a display would even drop $120 for a wool shirt that has a decidedly "western" look.... so I would be curious as to how many they made and sold.

 

[ausreenactor]

Have both. Wore one once. If I had a dollar for dollar I wasted on what I thought I needed I would have lots if dollars and wardrobe space. At The Front did square flapped picket OD shirts. Once. Not that popular.

My son really wants a pair to go with his A2.

A pink shirt went for US$140 not too long ago on eBay.
