Skip how old is your ELC?

As for me,

I wrangled two horses who escaped the coral today and had to mend a fence and got a nice memory from it on my ELC monarch. a small surface level abrasion but not a tear through. I will say this horsehide is tough. would have went straight through lamb or perhaps a thinner goat hide. I will always remember this moment now when I look at it. ha. Thats using your gear.

That was exactly how I decided to look on things when me and the above BK were bitten by a dog, damn thing when straight through the leather and my arm, hardly think about it now though.

Actually caught a few hours of mid-40's F weather this morning.... ;) Today, I'm wearing yet another Morgan Productions horsehide A-2. This one is a recent replacement for one I sorely regretted selling some time back.

These A-2's were a collaboration in the mid-1990's between the late Col. Robert K. Morgan (Pilot of the 'Memphis Belle'), his widow Linda Morgan, and the large Japanese army-war surplus company, Nakata Shoten. The 'Morgan Memphis Belle' A-2 is popular in Japan as a period-patterned Mid-level ($440.00 USD) A-2, currently available in both cow and horsehide. The HH is a dark seal brown, appears to be chrome-tanned, comfortable to wear when new, and at the upper limits of thickness for a 'proper' A-2.

The tagged size 44 gives me exactly the wartime cut and look I love in an A-2 for my 44" chest. The sleeves on both this, and the other one I had are a bit long. I have a new set of better quality knits on-hand, and will have the sleeves bobbed when installed.... ;)

Pilot if you are still in NC by weeks end there is a great airshow in Virginia Beach VA. The Military Aviation Museum hosts a show called warbirds over the beach.
A fantastic collection of WW2 vintage aircraft most of them in flying condition and period reenactors. It's a great weekend. And yes, you can fly in!;)
