And the Monarch was only done as a 352nd Ftr Group jacket with an internal pocket.

Guys, not jacket-bashing, perhaps its just me... but ELC's pocket flaps look a bit 'Cockpitty' to me... Similar to their 'Slender' model...
Anyway, I like it... will get a good look at Legends.

Thought thought exactly same about the pocket flaps, way too accentuated and I think pockets themselves maybe too large but don't look so with comparison pic. Jacket is nice but again, would I wear such a highly painted jacket? There is clearly a market but to the person 'on the street' that might appear a bit Avirex/Cockpity as you say but at a much inflated price!!

ELC seem to only customise length of sleeves and body. When I ordered my Werber, I dropped a size from 40 to 38 to achieve the chest size I required and increased the sleeves by the maximum amount which was 4 cms. The shoulder size was a bit iffy being a little tight at 17.5 but with the aid of a sweater and much arm folding while zipped it has now stretched to 18 my preferred shoulder size.
if your interested just ask for the measurements of your normal size jacket and then go from there

I can. This last contract Dubows originally only had Talon M-42 and M-43 zips. Crowns were not used on this contract.

Apologies I wasn’t clear. I meant pick a Dubow contract that does use Crowns, not one that doesn’t generally.

Agree, the ELC RW models (all of them, fabric and leather) are OK...but not all of them are the best available....but still OK. Best IMHE are their fleece RW´s.

Agree with he above.
Also, if you want a Dubow... Heck, can't beat Platon's offering! Even a BK is £400 cheaper than an ELC, and depending who you talk too, a fantastic jacket.
But you already know all this
I saw ELC's Dubow in person and it looked gorgeous in its Timeworn patch & paint dress-up... But those pocket flaps... mmmmmm
