ELC B-6 Rough Wear 48” chest new to me

[Officer Dibley]

Mentioned elsewhere that i’d bought this. Well, it arrived today !

Here it is

It’s a stunning jacket !! Looks pretty much unworn. Warm !
Here’s the obligatory fit pic Burt

The lighting doesn't show the colour anything like it is.
Nice and light, the bi-swing back is great and will allow me to drive my wife’s MX-5 / Miata without restriction.
Two thumbs up or, as we say in the UK, chuffed to bits !

 

[B-Man2]

I like it!!
Stunning color...great deal.
Congrats Dave.

I think it doesn't fit and you should offer it up
Great looking coat. Living where I do and having spent about two weeks now in ~100ºf temps, I have to stop myself from buying a sheepie of any sort for the 12 days a year I could use it.
Well done.

 

[Officer Dibley]

Thanks guys

 

[Pilot]

Great jacket, fits you perfectly...now the arctic Temps can come...

 

[Boyo]

Wow..that is very nice... I had my eye on this one as well... That was a wise purchase

 

[ButteMT61]

But if you ever do want to sell it...or trade for a 60's G-1, hit me up

 

[Micawber]

Not bad, not bad at all. Nice catch

 

[Steve27752]

Very nice and a great fit on you.

 

[Clark J]

Yep looks like a perfect fit !

 

[B-Man2]

No! ......No!........No!
Don’t tell him it’s a perfect fit.
He’ll never sell it on.......

 

[Clark J]

Shit Burt ur right !!,,,,, Dave looks like a garbage bag on you !! I'd be embarrassed to be seen in public wearing that rag in the great UK !!!!!!! You must send it off to the crap bag USA where no one knows any better because we are without a sense of style !

Clark, the guy i bought my B-6 from is also selling a B-3 Rough Wear in a 46” chest. I absolutely cannot spend any more money on jackets. Ifbyou want his deteils, pm me. He’s your side of The Pond too

 

[ButteMT61]

OK, dudes, I was the first one to say it looked like shite so it's mine.

 

[Clark J]

Thanks but had a Nice B-3 and even in Minnesota I rarely wore it . The D-1/B-6 is the best for me . And yes I did sell my 2 Eastman D-1s too which I regret to this day

[Officer Dibley]

Yep, i hate this jacket !!

A few more pics the morning after. No buyers remorse yet. My wife, who usually rolls her eyes at “ANOTHER jacket ? How much ?” (This is where i tell a white lie....) looked at it and said “ooh, that’s nice. Is it for me ?” That’s a first !

 

[Pilot]

Dave, please be a nice boy, the question : „ is it for me?“ gives you a little hint...
Maybe no more jackets for you, but how about for your Lady?..

 

[Officer Dibley]

The risk Brice is that she’ll then find out just how expensive my addiction is ! Lol I buy “off-grid”

She has seen another lady in an A-2 and hbt trousers and made noises about an A-2 ....

 

[Pilot]

Do you honestly believe she does not know?... Surely she handles internet very well...and...then...
She is smart and kind and lets you believe, she does not know...
Thats another big advantage of collecting originals... very hard to track and trace ;-)

 

[Griffon_301]

Nice jacket! And it looks great on you owning the same one, I can attest that ladies like it my significant other rolled her eyes too in disbelief when I told her that I am about to add a B-6 to the collection and said that after a B-3, a B-10, and a B-15 who needs a B-6? When she saw it though she nodded and gave her ok...
