I have a ELC G1.
I love it.
However because of this forum I have purchased my first A2, Seal Dubow from Platon. The A2 fits me perfect and is a little more restrictive than the G1, which are both size 42. The G1 size is a tiny bit larger in size and less restrictive due to the Bi-Swing back. Also the goatskin has softened after wearing it regularly for a few months recently (did not wear it for over 13 years from purchase...)
The A2 horsehide feels stiffer but is only six months old.
I can throw on the G1 and not worry about it. The A2 needs a little bit of adjusting when wearing a sweatshirt underneath, but when it’s on it fits like a glove, I wear it round the house often because I love it so much.
I like the G1 in colder weather and that suits the mouton collar, if I dropped a size maybe I would wear it a little more.
The A2 goes with EVERYTHING and because it is sort of simpler in design it looks less fussy. I have another A2 on order, what can I say...
