New ELC Hilts

[Narco]

Hi all I'm new here. Thought I'd share some images of my new Eastman Hilts I picked up a few weeks back. I have an Eastman Irvin that I've had for 20 years and thought it was time I had another jacket. Being in the UK I visited Eastman with a Lutwaffe jacket in mind but then nearly went for one for their "winter lined" A2s but eventually fell in love with the Escape ones. I know a lot of you are not keen on the Time Worn process but the pics dont do it justice how well its done. Anyway here's a few pics. It's a size 40. I've been wearing it everyday and its moulding to my shape nicely.

Congratulations. Now wear the hell out of it and that will add your own patina.

Welcome ! it's a very nice jacket.
Now you just have to steal a (anachronistic) Triumph TR6 (the bike, not the car) and try to escape from this forum that will drive you crazy !

the seal color top coat will wear off in a way that shows more and more of the lighter russet.....the trick is to just wear it ...a lot. oh, and welcome to the abusement park.
