Eastman Luftwaffe - 50% off @ HPA

Joining in late as well...I've never really liked the ELC take on the French cyclist jacket. Like it was said by another member, we used to see quite a few of these about 20 years or so in flee markets in Europe. It used to be a pretty standard design for young fellows in the 1930s. I've almost pushed the buy button but never did as I always thought there was something missing with ELC's.
Seeing as most of the genuine cyclists have all disappeared or are labeled vintage jackets and now attract the hipster mob, it's getting pretty hard to find a decent second hand. Does anybody know of a maker that makes nice repros in Europe?

There is a post on the "History Preservation Associates" page on Facebook.
From what I understand it is only about History Preservation Associates. No discontinuation of this jacket from ELC.
They have an overstock of "Luftwaffe jackets" and they need the space.

Shame, I would have a size 44 in a heartbeat.

I wonder how many have actually sold during the sale?

Completely agree, Brice's are the only way to go if you want the period elegant proportions of originals and not the Highwayman crossed with a potato sack look that the ELC unfortunately has.
