Yeah, it sure looks great - I saw one some time ago which is what prompted my interest in the ELC G-1 in the first place. Must say I was a bit worried about colekwok's comment about single layered knits and I recall the one I saw having knits, especially the waistband, that were pretty thin...
Thanks very much guys - really helpful stuff. I have looked a bit at originals but I guess my concerns have been getting a good size/fit and the unknowns of eBay. But even if I miss I can still get something like three originals for one ELC!
Any suggested sites apart from eBay?
And yes, MG...
Authenticity as an early G-1 (I'd consider an M-422a) is probably the primary objective, then quality. Durability will follow from that. Value for money - not so much cost but is the quality worth the cost. I don't expect to be hard to fit based on experience.
