    On the matter of eyes I rock contact lenses though am thinking of investing in a pair of specs for first thing in the morning. On the issue of teeth I lost a front incisor a few years ago and ended up with a small glue in denture which is a complete mare to live with. Am currently most of the...

    I’ve tried the lotions and potions approach in the past and it didn’t work at any level I could notice or that anyone ever commented on…was pricey though.

    Eastman Star size help!

    If it’s not right for you it’s not right. I sold an ELC A-2 last month because the fit wasn’t what I wanted even though it was probably within the acceptable range. Charles at HPA has done the decent thing by measuring the ELC A-2’s he vends & putting the measurements on the HPA site..it’s a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My new C-3 vest from ELC, using it as a gilet / waistcoat. Had to size down from my usual 48 to a 44 long to get the desired fit. 24” chest & 23.5 back, I’m 5.10’. Had a 46 Reg a few years back but moved it on as too loose over only a T shirt, designed more around going over the likes of an A-2..

    Aero Board racer, hand warmer pockets or not?

    London Outerwear meetup 8th of December - Epilogue

    Quite likely, can’t make the London meet because I’m down there next weekend for a couple of beers. Two weekends on the trot might not go down well at home. Devon for a day shouldn’t be a problem

    London Outerwear meetup 8th of December - Epilogue

    I did mention a potential FL visit to ELC when I spoke to them recently, would of course need to give them adequate notice and agree a date. Speaking to Rob again this week so I’ll ask how it would work best.
