Here's one i set up earlier. My ELC B-3 .I have had this now for many years and my go to jacket for those cold chilly days of winter ,as i said i have had it for many years and the patina is time worn but a jacket not for everyday wear but bloody handy for those cold dark days and nights of winter.

When I see how great your B-3 is still looking I feel guilty for having abused mine so that it looks pretty worn after all those years I have it ...

Cheers Griffon, to be honest i has a lot of wear and a couple of repairs but it still does the job .

Cheers! Mine is quite up to its task too still, but it has flaked, it has bald spots on certain areas and one side is torn behind the adjustment straps... But for a nearly 25years old jacket, it looks great and it has character... And a lot of great memories attached to it
