They're a subtle 'exotic' when compared to the RW red skins. Any ELC original maker is going to put a smile on the face.

Some new and some old Eastmans...
Only ELC's I currently own are my faithful B-10 (40L) and my B-15 (42)
Both are keepers for sure!

ELC Monarch circa 2015 40L
Fit well, but I was uncomfortable when lifting arms, pulled too much.
And a very recent 42. This was a jacket I bought recently to gauge fit... Loved this jacket, slightly more caramel Havana brown (pics a bit bright/ orange, not so in real light)... Really nice (no longer in stock)... VERY TEMPTED to keep this! Watch this space.

And some RW1401s over the years. These are by no means all, just don't have pics to hand of the others and the 27752s...
If I find the time, Ill go dig them out.

I sold it too not long after purchasing from you. It ended up being a bit tight.

The color of that Havana jacket looks pretty nice. Since it’s no longer available you just may want to hang onto that one for a while . Just a thought.

Yes, was tempted to keep it, but elected to get one with the regular Havana (and a touch of length added to the sleeves...)
Interestingly enough, this is one of the first A-2s Ive tried on that actually almost fits perfectly. Its just the pattern, when I lift my arms, the sleeves pull up a touch, so Ive added 0.5" to account for that and the usual creasing that I find develops after some wear.

Brett, you're a true jacket tester.
Is there an A2 that you've never had, or at least haven't tried it on?
By the way, this Monarch 2015 looks more like 42 than like 40 on you. Or were you 5 years ago even slimmer?

I am astonished that we so rarely see this jacket on the forum. Even if the cut is not 100% conform to a cycling jacket, it is still in my opinion a very nice jacket.

Its deceptive. The back of the jacket was a little trim, so it looks fine, but when I lifted my arms they pulled at the pits. I dont have the measurements of that jacket anymore, 17.5 shoulders I recall... but this last Monarch was very easy and comfy.
As I've mentioned many times, all my current/ recent jackets are seal, and Ive wanted a russet for a while. [that's why I let the other Dubow go to a new home - Kermit
]Platon's Dubow would be the obvious choice, but I know it'll come in a bit short for me.
BK next, and may still be what I'll do. I'd love a russet Dubow... Or Roughwear. Or Werber?
But ELC is down the road, easy to get a hold of, guys are great and easy to try a jacket.

I have seen something like that? Dont recall where though. Could have been on The Fedora Lounge. Have you stead the search above? Sometimes Google/ Images shows up people 'threads'...Has anyone ever reviewed the Hartmann jacket by ELC ? I didn't find anything in the research...
I'd like to see photos of details and fit pics

Good point !
I found this on "The Fedora Lounge" :eastman leather Hartmann review
Hi All, I am note sure this is the correct forum to post a review, please let me know if I am wrong... I wanted to share with you my Hartmann review : I received the Eastman leather Hartmann a few weeks ago. I started by ordering the size 38 which was obviously too small for me, even if I know...
