deeb7 said:Thanks Miles ... looks like it would be a nice jacket in another colour.
I didn't try it on as it was hung up rather than on the rail, but I thought it seemed a little "tougher" than Eastman's version, and while I still don't care for the raw seams on the sleeve they stand out less than when using the thicker horsehide.deeb7 said:What was it like apart from the colour, Miles?
Any changes to their existing pattern, and what was the sheepskin like? I imagine it draped well, but did it look tough enough?

johnwayne said:Must admit I like the olive - well, that is the colour I see in the BR Fall 2010 catalogue which I got via Eastmans. I always thought the exchange rate would kill it but nevertheless enquired via Gary if he could get one. Basically he said he could ask but of course, if it was shipped over and then didn't fit then I couldn't return it! He reminded me they do thier version of course but
somehow I like the thought of it being a little different than all the other 'brown' jackets I have plus, it is believed to be the oringal colour used albeit Gary said he's never actually seen one!! He also said "a Green leatherjacket - yuk!!!" so thats made me re-think!!!
No not really, just what you paid for it.johnwayne said:Hey Miles, top man and thanks for the offer - dont suppse ytou know what £'s cost might be?
Dont have the brochure to hand (ssh I'm at work) and when I last worked it out it was silly money, Gary reckoned twice as much as his which really makes it out of the question!
Was Mr Lever looking to looking to make a killing if I bought one and didint like it??? Shrewd cookie me thinks!
So playing safe it's edging JC vs ELC - unless that is a nice 44" one pops up here/ebay before I settle on which - I keep missing out whever there has been one
Cheers all
