be careful, these can be kind of odd fitting jackets, very trim around the waist and very high waisted.

No, I am not getting any commissions from 5 Star!!!!!!! - I'm just happy to FINALLY see a great budget option for a nice looking A-2. I reached out to Shawn about an order which is all set in re pulling the trigger but if I approach rationally, no way I need another A-2, it would just be for...

Here's another new customer pic. A little large on him in re fit and leather maybe a bit stiff but should break in really well if actually worn: overall good WW2 vibe..........

looking great

The HPA website is even more helpful than ELC's as it lists the dimensions of all of the jackets in all of their sizes. Hugely helpful (maybe this is on the ELC site but I have not seen it).

I see, so there is a Brandy and Brand Brown..............

I told John almost 20 years ago to make A-2's using hot water treatment on the leather before the cutting the patterns and asked him a few times to make one for me this way. Glad to see it a reality. He has done some others of course. Looks so great!!!!

so here is a downside IMO, photo of the Brandy in direct sun. Way too red, so if they can do the same quality hide in a more accurate color - great however, I know a number of buyers have purchased and like this super red color: Not my jacket or photo.

excellent looking ELC

looks pretty damn good!!!!

I would love to go to their showroom despite the financial ruin it would cause. I think being able to try jackets on would elevate the experience immensely.

I think both jackets are a bit stiff at first, not sure I agree that it doesn't look like an RW collar ??????

"Brandy" it has looked very red in some photos

that would be SO FUN to visit!!!!

I own two ELC A-2's - love them and wear when I can. An excellent maker and option. Just too bad prices are so hight for all of the high end folks. Quality is expensive I get it, I understand but.................. just the way things are, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
