I was trying to be conservative in my guesstament . I didn’t want to be thought of as an ELC basher

Worth it.

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to bash ELC on this forum.

Eastman used to have this one, I remember seeing it when I visited them in 2017, nice to see it coming back. Wonder if it will have a smaller collar this time....

Nice jacket….. not sure I’d have the “adornments“ though - I'm not Patton!

Gave it to a ploughman he saw struggling working in the fields near to Farnham. It came up for auction 20 years ago.

Why is the bottom 3rd of the patch green on repro and distinctly brown on the real deal? Pics exist showing it’s really green originally? Picky I know but I ain't buying one anyway!

Cockpit/Avirex used to sell a Patton B-3 too.

Repro-regression days?

Maybe ELC has a G-8 planned as well!

Wow, what a story. So where is it now?

Free interpretation of what should be (dark) blue just like all other armored division patches...? The original patch shows most likely a very weathered blue colourtone.
