Much as I try, I can't get the idea of a decent mixed batch B-3 out my head. I'd love an ELC Perry in likely a size 40 and I'm just looking for others recent experiences. I don't want "broken grain" shipskin that looks so dried out it makes the surface of Mars look moist (and I actually would like a bit of sheen), and I'd like the straps to be a wwii thickness, not thinner, and whilst I get that the cuffs may thin eventually, I don't want them all round bald within a couple of weeks of gentle wear to the pub. Anyone had one recently? (and I do know its August!)
And if you have a one you might want to sell that's gently worn, and might reasonably address my points above please get in touch. A bit of extra wear to loosen it up might be very welcome!
I dont mind the price of a new one from ELC, or another maker, I just want it right. If someone can recommend another high end repro maker that might fit my desire please raise.
Cheers
