Agree, but my point was...despite the didcussions here and elswhere, they ( all high priced jackets) sell and their delivery time is longer than ever...”money does not look for friends...just to change hands”...

I think this whole situation is being made worse by the fact that we are all die hard fans who understand just how much prices have gone up in such a short span of time.
If I were fresh to the brand, and I had just been into Real McCoy’s London, I would think that ELC was a comparitive bargain. Same goes for most fashion brands which charge considerably more for quite average products - have a look at Mr Porter if you don’t believe me.
Eastman do shoot themselves in the foot a little though with certain things - their Irvin is fantastic but the “Eastman” branded zips feel underwhelming considering the price. Aero has them beat in this area hands down!

Good looking jacket! could you tell how thick is the lining?

The jacket is incredibly soft, like a second skin. The wool lining is not very thick, maybe double that of a regular A-2 lining. My only slight complaint is the narrowness of the cuffs at the leather level: my big hands just fit! The wrist knitwear is therefore a little relaxed. For a second-hand price of €850 I absolutely do not regret my purchase.

Beautiful jacket and you've nailed the fit. I am surprised to hear that the lining is so thin, but even so, I guess it expands the range of usable temperatures that the jacket can be worn in. Regarding the narrow sleeves at the bottom, I had the same exact problem with my ELC RW 27752. It's been mentioned in this forum before too. Seems like a trait of the 27752 that Eastman produces.

Just tought the winter lining was thicker ! So why call it winter lining?

My thoughts as well … I was thinking that it had an army blanket lining similar to a tanker jacket . Twice the thickness of a normal A2 lining isn't much different than a normal A2 .
