I had my two jackets, made to order I assume, dispatched in three weeks and five weeks respectively, with orders placed in August and September this year. One 55J14 and one 1401P.

I am one of those fools who've bought a brand new ELC 55J14 for the current price and I don't regret it for a second. I love it. I agree the hide is on the thinner side but for me that is not a disadvantage. It is extremly comfortable, with the rayon lining, the action back (?), and the soft...

Thanks Geeboo! Can you comment on sizing (using standard chest size, or size up) and also is there a difference in cut between the Navy tees and the army/air force tees?
