Went to Eastman Leathers a week ago, fantastic showroom with row on row of jacket porn. Gary’s A-2 collection encased in glass and taking up a wall. Nice coffee and biscuits, tried on the new fly weight Irvin..lovely! Placed an A-2 RW order. Well worth making an appointment and visiting, great pieces in their ELMC biker collection too…
I wanna go even more now ! Would any Fedora Loungers be up for a day trip from London ?

There is no ‘Pop Up’ this year so all the more reason to visit ELC in Devon. Lots of great English Pubs around for sustenance & recovery from orders placed at Eastmans.

So just as a quick update, the 23rd of April is fixed for the meetup.

We will tentatively start with a visit at Lewis leather like the first time and go for a long walk to visit shops in the West End.

I also need to know who would like to go for dinner afterwards. We will have to book somehting in advance.

And this time we need more pics!

So the meetup is in three weeks from now.

We will be tentatively starting with Lewis Leather, then:

- Rivet & Hide
- RMC
- American Classics
- And other places I am missing from the top of my head, please add to the list so we can set the itinerary

I also need to know if there is enough interest in going to the ELC workshop, they would need as much notice as possible I suspect, I have not contacted them yet.

And who wants to go for dinner? Smith & Wollensky as suggested by @GHT is a solid option, and I need to know how numerous we will be to ask them if they can accomodate us.

Sent me a private message or post here to let me know if you are coming and what yo uwant too do :)

I'll look into going this week. As it happens I already asked for a free weekend those days so might aswell make the trip.

The moment I can confirm I will let you know. I haven't been in London since 2019 wow.

Thank you for confirming @red devil
I am coming (except for dinner) ! and I am definitely interested in visiting the ELC workshop if there is sufficient interest from the group.
Maybe worth starting with the Classic car boot sale @ Kings Cross ?

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.

Yes, we could meet there at 10:00, need to get the tickets in advance though.

I suspect they need at least a week notice, so all those interested, let me know asap!
