Lord knows who they make their jackets to fit. Computer geeks with spindly forearms rather than honest working folk !
With literal shawl collars

That's the look!
Maybe the focus on other regional markets means they are tailored for a somewhat different average physique but that does not explain why the collars.

Absolutely for the tailoring ...the collars...” rationalization...one size fits all”.That's the look!

Guess the same applies for the pockets.
Nevertheless, some of their A-2 versions with the grainy WH HH are very OK. and the ELC service is perfect.
So not only bashing.

We debate it all; however, does anyone think that the prices will stay the same? Only that non-renewable fossil fuel based Petrol stays the same price year after year...

There's an old ELC RW size 48 with the Talon zip just turned up on eBay UK. Bit well worn and with moth eaten cuffs but it's got up to £1.20 right now...
