What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Pa12]

We got the same overnight. 3 or 4 inches but it’s above freezing. Should be gone pretty quick. Mid teens Celsius next week. Hopefully this is the last of it.

Same here. We had an inch overnight. Sunny but cold, between -7 and -3. I'm ready for summer.

Looks like the proverbial cold snap over at yours, Rob. Can you comfortably wear layers under that Knopff?

Yes sir, I have T shirt, sweatshirt and the jacket on and I could do a cartwheel in it without a problem, except I would probably break a hip, lol

Miserable dog weather. Dog stuck in the house.

That's a cool jacket with some nice patches ...

I'm not that fond of Sean but his patches look awesome as looks the whole jacket

Only have had interactions with him on his website, but I understand some have had issues with him, personally.

Was really happy how the patches looked when I had ELC sew them on. Give's the A2 a totally different look

I’m surprised they would sew them on. I spent weeks trying to get them to sell me a set of knits for me Elc rw. They weren’t interested unless they installed them. Would have cost me 400 bucks for back and forth shipping plus the price of the knits and installation. Sold the jacket instead.

Next time check around there’s got to be someone in Canada that does that work for reasonable money and the shipping won’t kill you .

That was the plan Burt, but they wouldn’t sell me the knits. Tried mash and they said they won’t ship to Canada. I gave up and sold it. Never liked it anyway

They replaced the knits, added the four patches and shipped it back. Door to door under a month. Total cost £200 w/ return shipping. Honestly, they were excellent to deal with

ELC demurred a repair for me on their product, saying it would not be worth it to me.

Next time that happens let me know what you need from Mash and I’ll buy it for you and ship it to you .

Don’t know why they won’t ship here. Holding a grudge

There are other suppliers of good quality knits and other jacket components these days, but the issue is moot now anyway.

Yes. Found that out myself a bit too late. No problem, I’m happy now.
