I ordered myself an ELC B-10 a little less than two weeks ago and it showed up today. First impressions: As always a well built jacket, with great attention to detail. The shell feels similar in weight and thickness to a Buzz, perhaps a bit softer. The brass Talon runs very smoothly but has a very strange looking lime-green tape to it. I dont mind at all since its hidden but its a colour I would never have expected. The shoulder decal is well applied and identical to the one Buzz uses. The knits feel fairly substantial so i'm hoping they'll keep their shape for a while. The collar uses a very, very smooth and soft feeling mouton which is a dark brown colour. Inside the left pocket is a white tag with the size, and the number 250, would this mean this is the 250th ELC B-10 made? All in all I'm very pleased with the jacket, and I've finally found the fit I've been looking for in a B-10. Between the Buzz Roughwear and the ELC, I would definately go for the ELC. Choosing between the ELC and the old Real McCoys Japan jacket is tougher, they both are accurate copies of fairly different looking contracts.
