She's a beauty!

Is that Eastman? How long have you had it?

I've been wearing my ELC B6 for 3 years now, getting some cool wear marks. I'd say finally broken in.

I've got one that I promised I'd post back a few years ago, I'll get back to you in a bit, I've got to open up the vaults. It's pretty Haggard, Definitely worn by a Real Grease monkey.

Here is one I had in my possession for a few years. It is a Western Lea contract. Despite having a few repairs it was a quite nice "wearable" original with some descent paint.

That's in superb condition...don't often see too many like that. I take it from the artwork on it that it must have made its way into the air? Some mechanic might have traded it for a B3...

Did all original D1s only come with Small/Medium/Large etc sizes rather than numerical ones?

Here's an old gem.

Couple of years now..the ELC D-1 is my go to shearling..more practical than my BOB ELC Irvin type

Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to wear a D-1 in N Texas but have always appreciated the simple, uncluttered look and not as thick as the B-3. Anyhow, great thread and look forward to seeing more D-1’s.

I saw that very jacket on eBay recently.

My new Aero D-1. I like it
However, it still needs to be break in and get a few wrinkles. It is a little stiffer than my Coastal Command.
The fur is super soft. More like teddy bear than sheep.

Are those seal jerky HH trims?

Thank you.
And yes, seal jerky and seal shearling.
The seal jerky has the same reddish core like the russet jerky.

I prefer the D-1.
It's simpler and has curved sleeves.
If I were to order my D-1 again today, I would take it in redskin instead of seal.
As I have the B-6 in redskin, it's rather unrealistic that I'll order another D-1.
It's more likely that I'll also get an RAF Irvin without the hood. But who needs 4 shearling jackets when the winters are getting warmer and warmer lol
