ELC have certainly moved away. What were GW’s original prices anyone ? I can’t remember as they were always beyond me for cost and waiting time...
Steve, if you are telling me that Waitrose is the same as ASDA, i’m never letting you talk to my missus ! Lol
What you say can be true but Shawn Ali’s wares are nothing compared to ELC & GW - he is in a different phase of learning - though there are some who have convinced themselves he is as good.
BK are perhaps as good though i’ve never seen one of theirs.
In other words, not all Corn Flakes are made at the same factory just as not all A-2’s are made by the same person with simply a different box. A Mercedes is not the same as a Citroen. If i own a Citroen i might say i’d never buy a Merc’, but would i keep the Citroen if i won the Euro Millions ....? Probably not.
The ethos of VLJ remains what it always has been but the jacket “snobbery” has certainly been stood on its’ head: now some people are all but mocking others for owning expensive jackets . And that seems to have killed conversations about GW & ELC sadly. All the chatter is about cheap jackets.
If I remember correctly GW s sold for about 750 00
Congrats! I can only beat them on the 2 miles bar run called Itaewon survival night.I'm beating the 2 Mile PT Test time for an 18 year old in the US Army. I think I am okay.![]()
Really, is it ?I think that's an endurance drinking session?

Maybe..... just maybe.......ELC’s multiple price increases in the last year or so might have something to do with their slow sales.......maybe...I see retailers are now dropping prices of ELC jackets on ebay by 22% ,he offers a lot of ELC and its all discounted ?.
