Given the smooth leather gonna say earlier Eastman but certainly couple pics appear to be from Johns site

 

[blackrat2]

It does say Eastman in the listing to be fair

Something dodgy about the pictures being used on this one. Couple shots showing that typical ELC "Made in England" tag attached to the spec tag, then it's gone in the last image.

That backdrop and the reddish cloth at the top of the display is identical to Goodwears. It has to be a GW A2. Something a little dodgey here

Looking at the images on my desktop for clearer views and it looks like the seller is using multiple, different jacket images to pad his sale.

I can also see that there were badges attached to the collar -- very tell-tale holes and indentations left behind.

Full description is also revealing.

I'm assuming the jacket with the tag in the neck next to the label is the one actually being sold, which is an ELC.
They used some GW photos.

It's misleading to say the least. And overpriced, IMHO.

Yes, thats an earlier ELC RW1401 thats up for sale, but... the cad has gone and used one of John's RW1401 pics for the 'hero' shot. Not cool.
Why not just take one from Eastman if you want a shop-shot...

I've see this listing for 2 years and no one is eager to buy it
