elc, elite jackets,

John, it's nearly Christmas and I was having a joke with you. I know your brief flirtation with A2s has long gone! Now if Gary produced Elite Unit B-3s with patches and nose art perhaps you would be tempted.

Hmm... I have always been disappointed at the lack of attention to details with non- US jackets. Why not make some variants on the RAF jacket ?
Another B-3 would be good though, a seal monotone made from the new WH and the skins from the Perry would be great. I would pass on any adornment though, less is always more.
Likewise some navy sheepskins or lovely old 1930's M/C jackets that aren't quite as obvious as the Roadstar, it's too biker unless you ride.

I'm sure there are people out there who would buy Elite unite B-3s. As far as Irvins are concerned sourcing the correct skins is the issue for me coupled with the repro zips. I would be interested know which particular RAF jackets you would like ELC to produce John.

 

[John Lever]

I like the late war jackets.
Compared to the attentions and details lavished on A-2's, the BoB and 42 pattern jackets are very simplified.

I know what you mean John. I like most types of original Irvins. Why not buy up several pairs of Irvin trousers and get them made into a late War jacket?

Actually I was planning to form my own elite unit. So far there are two members , Ian [ DrH] being the other. Our base is the local pub that floats over the river Wey.

The Mill's Angels... :lol:

Who could I trust to make it ?

 

[Roughwear]

You could trust a skilled and experienced seamstress to make it for you John.

 

[Dr H]

Come, come - when we have a talented member of the Forum making jackets from scratch?
An excuse for a commission with a difference...

 

[deeb7]

Out of Irvin trousers ... really? Unless they were NOS you'd really be making a pee-coat.

 

[John Lever]

You taking the p*ss ?

No, not me Sir ... and I don't think you'd ever wash it out of the wool.
