lol!Wankers.
That and alol!
<snip>In that case, can anyone explain to me why Eastman is charging 100pounds more with their original maker A-2s than their house A-2 jacket? I am sure they are of similar quality and for an untrained eye, they are essentially the same jacket. When we talk about Buco J-100, we are talking about a repro jacket, not just the pattern.
With all due respect to Charles/HPA and Eastman, most of us here are just trying to voice our opinions as consumers. But as a 'high end' marker, ELC should be setting the trend, rather than just following what is popular.
Good point Ton. It's just another in a sea of similar jackets. This one, without a Buco label etc.
My point is simply that, if it were possible for me to look past the political view of the maker (I can't), I'd be more likely to pursue this style from a maker with an established pattern, examples of which there are many around here. Personally the tag is not important to me. That said I'm not an exact repro buyer and none of my jackets are meant to be exact repro's of anything in particular.So let's see, we have J-100's being made right now by X number of makers, and only one maker is using a Buco label, and none of this has generated any negative commentary that implies a glut or "sea of similar jackets" until Eastman adds one to their offerings, then it becomes one too many.
Very curious ...
Are you kidding me..? Perfect way to lose business.
LOL. Shearling or leather lined?Next in for release by ELC, the tinfoil hat.
True enough Capes...and even if I don't agree, everybodies entitled to their opinion.As to his opinions... It takes all sorts and he’s entitled to believe what he wants to in my book.
