Is it on Youtube or the net somewhere?

Nice one Jerome!

Here's my one today. Purchased new from ELC in 2007, a 42 Extra Long. As usual click on the pics for bigger versions.

 

[jerome35]

Great one Smithy, love the way yours broke!

 

[jerome35]

Received this one today (nearly Christmas, isn't it?), time worn processed, quite nice "in the flesh".

That's one of those ones where the top coat comes off if you even look at it sideways!

Did my first post yesterday in the “what are you wearing right now” thread and posted thumbnails cause I didn’t realize there was an option. So both to practice and to add to this thread, thought I would post here my ELC A1 .50 cal in size 42 purchased in 2019. A great warmer weather spring time jacket. I am pretty happy with it. One shot in shade and one in sun to show the grain.

Out and about in the Roughwear 1401~P.

Were you the guy at the Eastman pop up shop in 2019?

Were you the guy at the Eastman pop up shop in 2019?

Yes

 

[s4rmark]

I thought so, I spent a while with you trying on various A-2’s. I didn’t buy at the shop but soon afterwards I did order the 1401-P I am wearing in the above photo. nice to hear from you again.

 

[warguy]

S4rmark, that 1401P is a gorgeous jacket and the one I have in my sites currently. How is the fit? I seem to be between a 40 and 42 and have opted for a 42 for my jackets so far. I have heard the 1401P fits a bit on the large size though so when ready, I might go a 40. Is this sound thinking in your experience?

 

[s4rmark]

I’m about the same size as you and the 1401-P is a 40. I wouldn’t say it’s a large 40 but quite a trim fit. Judging by your pics I would think a 40 would fit you fine .if you go to historypreservation.com they have a sizing guide for all Eastman jackets.

 

[warguy]

Thank you, I am very familiar with HP and their sizing guide, it is just often tough cause I land in the middle. I have studied the size guide on this jacket in comparison with others I have and was leaning toward the 40. Thanks for your input, fit looks great on you. Kevin
