This has broken in very nicely.
The 1401-P seems to be a pretty widely liked contract and a good seller for ELC.

Strangely enough I know exactly how you feel.
My son just lost our beloved Golden Retriever yesterday. Probably from the same disease. It’s hard and heartbreaking to see an animal go through that.
Good Luck to you both .

all of this "show me yours" reminds. me of when the little girl an boy were on a play date. the little boy said to the little girl, "ill show ya mine if you show me yours. the little girl said, uh, sure, ok, you first. the little boy unzips his pants and whips out his kid worm, and says to the little girl, "I betcha aint got one of these, do ya huh?". the little girl ups her play dress and peels down her kiddie panties, and says, " I got one of these, and with one of these, I can get all of those that I want".

@gav your pictures were the trigger for my choice of a RW 1401-P.
A really amazing jacket.

Here's my ELC Irvin purchased new in 2007. Sorry the photo is from last year (I'll take a more recent one shortly when I get a chance). Scarf is one of those silk escape jobs which is now in the clutches of my daughter and therefore I'm unlikely to see it again.

I think that the earlier BOBs look real nice compared to the hides being offered today. That’s a sweet one Tim.

Thanks Burt. The recent ELC "crinkly" finish ones look horrific, I've seen corrugated cardboard with more flexibility and character!

Had a ripper with original DOT zippers. That is one I really regret letting go.

My ELC Rough Wear 27752. It's a nice looking jacket and I wear frequently but it doesn't soften up much. The wristlets are too tight and bad...

Such a shame - that leather is gorgeous!

That hide looks awesome..

What is your wrist circumference? I have muppet/girly arms at a 7" wrist...

I would say my wrists are a normal" 8,5" but the knits are short and lack any form of elasticity. The knits on the DD for example are far better / superior.

My "mondaymorning" Eastman Irvin. I bought this jacket from a guy in Germany (maybe Ties ??? but I'm not sure) for reenactment purposes. All eyelets in the waistbelt has a very sloppy setting, the hangerchain came off at one side and the jacket had the dreaded plastic male RiRi zipp. I've changed the zipp with an original DOT zipp which came out of an damaged Irvin Airsuit. I also used the label and put it over the Eastman label. I discoloured the back of the collar, the tapes and waistbelt to put some more life in the jacket. Not sure if I like it... Some pics:

came for a short trip to Paris and had the chance to finally test the parka from Real Mccoy. It handled the wind like a champ! Their cotton sateen is superb

Weather was cold in Paris Yesterday.

riding my bicycle to commute wearing my 1401P, I was soo cold in the morning

It's dropping like a stone here. I've just knocked off from doing a night shift (2100 to 0700) where I am out and about a bit and it was down to 3 Celsius. Could've done with the Irvin!
