My new ELC B3

[Lee-AVG]

Hi tcwu,
your ELC B-3 is O.K, its color is exactly same as my ELC B-3 (Monotone, Seal brown), so don't worry about that!

I wish all jackets ended just below the natural waistline. Some jackets are so long that you get a balloon in front of you when you sit down. It looks like a good fit and for the price, you must be very happy with it.

I think the fit is just perfect on you as it is. Wear it in good health. Duke

Looking good, and looking the same as my fifteen year old ELC B3 in monotone seal.
Sitting down the jacket isn't short at all, but just fine. And remember: the trousers these jackets were supposed to be worn with ended somewhere just under your ribcage and were held up with suspenders: so there was enough overlap.

Here's a couple of photos of my grandfather in his B-3 (far right, holding the bags).

Look how big that B-3 is on him!!

Also check out the guy wearing the cowboy boots!

All the original B-3s that I have own or currently own have tended to be longer than the equivalent size ELC repro. My size 42 ELC RW redskin is almost 4cm shorter than my original RW B-3 in a size 42.
