Thanks for the update, is the leather absorb water easily?

Nice Gav!!! Ordered a Monarch contract A-2 when I visited Eastmans yesterday, asked for lots of broken grain. Tried on a G-1 whilst there, that's next on the purchase list.

That is one cracking jacket you have Sir ! Going a size up often works for us broader blokes. Otherwise you can look like an overstuffed sausage ! With it being a little loose, the jacket can drape rather than stretch over the body.

I'll be at Duxford in September. The only way i'll now buy a jacket is if I can see, touch and try on one in advance. Too many times I've ordered one and not been quite happy with how it looks : grain, colour etc.

As they say; it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission (when talking about wife - she just does not get my interest in jackets !)

Enjoy your jacket with the cooler weather we are now getting.

My ELC RW1401 ordered at Flying Legends is imminent (this will be my 3rd and hopefully last ! ).
Funny, as Mr 'doright was saying.... I usually wear a 40 long, but went with a 42 long this time round. Just felt better.
My broad shoulders, trim waist... Helped so much being able to try on the different contracts/ jackets available again.
I feel lucky, as the 1401 is my all-time favourite contract.
Just in time for the slightly cooler weather also... Pulled out an A-2 for the first time in a long time, this week.
