I have to give ELC/HPA some props on this one.

ELC can make some very nice jackets. I've seen real nice warhorse jackets, and others that were pretty boring. I guess you hit the lucky draw that day. Congrats on a great looking jacket!~

Jeff I think they went through a really boring period a few years back but it definitely looks like they're making some really nice jackets now. Like I've always said yu want 100% original buy original otherwise find a repro maker that meets your needs and enjoy. Eastman, RMNZ, GW, FS/G&B, Aero and even ole Stu make great jackets...

Allen,
I agree. Although, some do look better than others. I've never had any problems
with Eastman jackets. I think they make some real nice stuff. I have a Monarch
and a Roughwear B-10 that I couldn't be happier with. I also have a couple Goodwears
that I really like. If the jacket looks the part, I don't care who makes it .....
