It was cool enough to wear my jacket for the drive in this morning !!

That's when I wear my sheepskins a lot, early morning, no heating on, window slightly open, perfect.

 

[Officer Dibley]

How are your jackets aging ?

They're coming along nicely, only thing I'm a bit wary of is sliding into the seat and wearing the hem, but it doesn't seem to be an issue.

That’s a sweet looking jacket.
It looks great on you.
Cheers

Well Eastman knockers, i sent the B6 for some additions. A shoulder decal, rank & a leather zipper pull.
Shipped weds at 5pm. ELC emailed to say received the next day. Did the work and shipped back on Friday. Arrived back to me today - Monday. Sent in a bag, returned in an Eastman box
And a pleasant result is i am meeting up with someone from ELC on Sunday at the Duxford air show .
Here’s the results

You pay what you get... First Class by all means!

 

[Officer Dibley]

That sounds very reasonable! And the idea how to exchange a plastic bag with a proper ELC cardboard box is pure genius

Cost me £12 to ship. ELC charge £15 for the return journey - including big box. The decal is £19. So that’s your total if you wish to go that way Griff’.

Well done. I've received nothing but the same first class service from Eastman here in NYC.

Thank you very much I guess sending a jacket over to the UK from the continent might be a little bit more expensive but not that much...funds here will be channeled towards another jacket purchase though right now but the option is a nice one

Looks great!!
Will you be using it as a re-enactor?

 

[Officer Dibley]

Maybe Burt. Although there are not many events at the time of year where it’s wearable. There is the last one on 14/15/16 Oct though.
Mostly i’ll just be in Levis, a Johnson Motors Inc t-shirt, flat cap and Red Wing boots doing what i do - posing ! Lol

Well, last year I wore my B-6 at the September show with a T-Shirt underneath and it was a quite nice experience and I did not really sweat in it at all. The shorter fleece on the Six really makes it a great and easy jacket to wear....
