Jacket looks sweet Brett.

Thanks Grant!!!

Would love to see pictures when it arrives.

 

[Brettafett]

Surely will, as always! Not even going to worry about how long it will take

How’s the jacket working out Grant

 

[Lebowski]

Hahaha, you won't be disappointed!

Grant, could you please make a separate thread about your new ELC Rough Wear 23380, it sure deserves that! The only your photo with that gorgeous jacket from the back I've seen recently has been looking so much intriguing!)

 

[Grant]

Hey blackrat, if you're referring to the russet Dubow, it's a great jacket. Jumping on the bike wearing it today.

 

[Brettafett]

More pics of that Dubow grant!

 

[Grant]

Lebowski, i'll try and get some pics this weekend!

 

[Brettafett]

That artwork on the 23380 is Josh's, is it not? Do you know Grant?

 

[Grant]

No, I don't, but the style doesn't look anything like his artwork. It's done in a much more crude, naive style.
Sorry to hijack this thread - back to Platon's Dubow!

 

[Brettafett]

Not at all! In fact, I think that style, makes it appear very authentic... I'm glad ELC is doing these painted and patched jackets properly! Its a stunner...

 

[Brettafett]

Some recent pics (with a Cockpit WW2 Gov issue A-2)... Loving this jacket, its breaking in beautifully.

Aaaaargh...why oh why... I just pulled the trigger on a size 42 in seal. For this money, it's a steal, really. If I don't like it, I can re-sell easily, and if I do I can even make money by selling my Star. The way I see it it's pretty much the only option left for a horsehide original maker A-2 withouth winning the lottery, and who knows how long the prices remain this low. The shoulder, sleeves and length of the 42 is spot on for me, but I'm afraid of the baggy chest and torso. We shall see, the 40 would be too short definitely. Shorter than my Star.

At least I'll have something to look forward to when I return home from Bali. Whenever that shall happen. I won't have it delivered here, my leather guitar strap is already gathering mold due to the humidity. I wouldn't want that to happen to an A-2.
