Is it possible to make knits more elastic (again)?

Looks great! I’ll probably get the knits on my Eastman replaced as well. Thanks for taking the plunge and showing the results.

Jan, I was happy to share. For this we are all in this place

Mid-brown. From the photo it listing was difficult to accurately understand the exact shade, and I consulted with Larry, indicating which jacket I have. He was kind as usual and said that I needed a mid-brown for ELC Star and it turned out to be 100% the same color that on my Eastman as you can see.

Well, I've followed your example, Dmitry, and messaged Larry to get his advice on what color cuffs to buy for my 1401-P.

Don't forget to show him the photo. But I think you need the same color as me.

Great minds think alike.

Awesome grain on that Eastman Star!

I've bought quite a few knits from Larry for self sewing, both cuffs and waistbands, and generally find the mid brown to be a good match for many BUT be aware colour shades and actual tightness of the knitting can vary from batch to batch.

To me replacing knits is routine maintenance on hard worn jackets.

I have bought from Larry several times before and have never been disappointed. Let's see how this pair will serve.

Thank you, grain continues to grow, this jacket is my lovely workhorse and my second skin in the summer, wear it a lot.
