why no one wants it? ELC Hartmann 46L

[Jeff M]

I'm guessing it's size isn't helping it much.
46 isn't that uncommon...but not as common as 44 or 42.
Then toss in the fact it is a custom "Long"....just whittles down the list of potential customers.

Dunno, it's an ugly-ass jacket IMHO so I can see why it's still there :lol:

Out of all the jackets I have ever owned the Hartmann is the only one that
has ever received 100% positive comment from non-Jacket types. As a 'dress'
jacket it is zee bomb!

I too agree, I really like the Hartmann and tried one on at DUxford this year.

Very comfortable in the new cape skin but very snug, I tried on a size 48 reg (my usual size is 46) which fitted great so unless you are super skinny then you would probably need to go up a size if you were to get one.

Paul, I elected to gamble on the 42 as the 44 I had was long in the sleeves. I wear it unzipped and do not button the cuffs. VERY comfortable in the capeskin.. Smells good too. Happy to be an ugly duckling. Unfortunately the style stops at the collar...

I don't know if Butte was joking or not but I think they look pretty awful.

Yer all big boys - you can handle the truth!

Anyone know what the sleeve length would be on that jacket

 

[Andrew]

I'm with Couchy and Paul, it's a great alternative to the A-2, albeit slightly short waisted by modern standards. I have a 46 ( possibly a long however) but I'll measure it when I get back home next week.

It's a sharp design and I like the collar shape as its like that of a shirt. The cape's fantastic too. My only issue with it is the chest on mine is slightly pouffy- a little excessive.
