What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

Awesome collection. ELC House A-2 has my vote!

Griffon_301 · Nov 15, 2018

I see a lot of love for A-2s
Here is mine, el cheapo A-2 from Kevin @sealmilitary...
It may be no real competition for the high price repros but it certainly looks the part and is a very comfortable and easy jacket to wear...I like it

ncang, nice jackets, my vote for Eastman Rough Wear

Brettafett · Nov 15, 2018

They all look so good it’s just too difficult for me to choose one. It’s a great collection.

Boyo · Nov 15, 2018

Agreed, All look really great in their own right.. you won't be out of place wearing any of these... I do think ( at least photographically) the Headwind and the Eastman look the best as they are both quite trim fitting.

Tommy · Nov 15, 2018

I really like the Headwind, the Eastman and the Aero. Dubow looks good, if a little too big. Certainly better than I was expecting from them, in terms of leather- not sure how accurate a repro it is, but it looks a nice Jacket. ELC is quite slim on you, but not too much. Nearly went for that Eastman myself when Ken posted about it.

Yhe house looks the best that’s a great find you had.... Just can’t get the staff these days to take a decent pic but here you go my AeroB6

Today is finally fit picture time. Which one do you like the most?

View media item 737This is my Headwind Admiral A1 jacket from @Skyhawk, custom made to size 42. I really like this jacket and haven't had the opportunity to take a nice photo for it.

View media item 736Wearing the ELC House A2 size 40 that resembles their Rough Wear 27752. I took it from @Ken at Aero Leather. Rob from ELC said that he's quite certain it's a horsehide jacket from 2005-2010. Although the cuffs are really loose, I still enjoy wearing it and will eventually replace the cuffs.

View media item 735Here's J. A. Dubow 27798 size 42 repro from Greece. The leather is still new and not broken in but I see a lot of potentials!

View media item 734Finally, the Aero 16160 trainee jacket size 40 in battered steerhide from Aero. Certainly a comfortable wear that will be a beater for a long time to come.

Pengyou,

for me clearly the DUBOW is the best fit on you ...

Nice collection overall

I'd say test sample in that case

Hi Ken! what do you think is it worth to treat this jacket with Aero wax for jackets? the skin is still in excellent condition and I don't see any signs of drying,but it's been so many years..

I treat my jackets with hand creme every year. After treatment they are soft with no signs of drying.

Alex, I think a bit of Pecard antique leather will only benefit your horse.

Leave it alone, just wear it, nothing is better for a leather jacket than regular flexing, just like old muscles getting a good walk every day

Teddy · Nov 16, 2018

I've never been able to take better photos of my W&G M422a from Steve. Here's one taken today. The grain on the goatskin is popping and the leather is getting much softer after 2 nights of sleep and wear.

MeachamLake · Nov 16, 2018

At the ELC pop up today. Picked up my M422a (fantastic - review coming soon).

Tried on loads - two particular jackets stood out.

Battle of Britain Irvin...love it. Would need extra body length but size 46 is spot on. Surprised how much I preferred the Irvin over the B3. They had a Devon Fleece which I also tried on, but I didn’t feel its worth the considerable premium!

Second is the Rough Wear Winter Mod...this is the standout A2 for me. I know some have scoffed at the price - I know I did! - but it really is incredible in the flesh. The leather is simply outstanding both in look and feel. Obviously it is too short for me, but size 46 is spot on.

Rob said no immediate plans to roll this new leather out across the range, but they may do in time.

Pilot · Nov 16, 2018

Wow! for the Irvin...super for the Star...

B-Man2 · Nov 16, 2018

Dude
ELC missed a great opportunity.... you could be their next poster guy!
The jackets look great..... but then again so are their prices.

What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?
