Eastman pop-up score

[B-Man2]

I’m guessing an HPA pop up wouldn’t even be a consideration at this point , but I agree with you , it would definitely be a great thing.

How about an HPA pop-up!

A lot of the HPA pricing on ELC is better than the UK retail.

Yesterday’s visit. I need a new A-2

 

[ausreenactor]

Airshows,, pop ups from ELC and the World at your doorstep? This is bullshit!

 

[ausreenactor]

Do they have reduced pricing at these? Loving the shirt packaging. Everyone whines about the pricing but look at the packaging! I would LOVE to have some of the shirts in the packaging for keeps...

I THINK the DD Bronco in the box under the bed might be packaged? Never asked....

 

[s4rmark]

Your right , but at least you can see and try on. But the prices are astronomical. i won’t be buying any ELC jackets !

 

[s4rmark]

I didn’t ask about discounts. The tag prices were way too much more than I was prepared to pay.

I started with Avirex and one or two Coopers before I started the buy three, sell two thing in 2008. I am at the point where I could sell a few and grab another ELC, or put some of my ill gotten war profits into one. I would rather fly to the UK and visit and bring two jackets back in my luggage. The duties would pay for one leg of the journey. But then there would be pubs, museums, probably a VLJ catch up or three and the wife would probably want to come.

Probably better just paying the duties..

Make no mistake , their jackets are lovely and fit perfectly , feel already broken in and it was very hard to resist getting the card out . The one that I really liked was the winter lined Roughwear 27752 , but at over £1300 I realised I could get an aero D-1 and an Aero a-2 for not much more.

Not a fan of that “Time Worn “ seal A2. Just looks so fake and over sanded .

No discounts. An easy way to get the team to smile... or laugh!

Same. I like worn jacket, broken and with small patina. But these I'm not convinced.

Despite owing a couple of 50cals and a time worn I also now prefer the untouched ones, it just takes away some of the fun in my opinion.

 

[s4rmark]

We originally visited the pop up shop to try on a D-1 which I may have been tempted , Unfortunately none in my size .

 

[Serghei87]

i have purchased yesterday the plane tickets to go there next tuesday from Luxembourg. I hope they will have enough 42 sizes to try on different contracts. The most excited one to try is their 23rd FTR GRP...their best looking jacket in my opinion

Its a shame that the store sells no BR leathers at all, infact Eastman don't offer any. BR Europe is a huge block to customer choice.

Totally agree and I’m surprised BR sit still for this. Surely it can’t have escaped their notice that the RMJ shop in Covent Garden does rather well, regardless of the popular view of this forum that they’re overpriced. Toyo the parent company of BR, has other vintage repro brands such as Star of Hollywood, Style Eyes, Lone Wolf, Sugar Cane and more and the EU distributor should do a lot more on all these too, imho. Sure I get all the reasons ELC might not want to do it, but that’s not reason enough, imho.

 

[John Lever]

Very bad for customer choice. We are missing out on some great jackets

 

[ausreenactor]

I can't understand the HPA vs BR Europe pricing difference?
