New ELC RW 27752 seal brown

[Camel24hrs]

Ordered a 1401 in size 46 from HPA and they were out of stock. Charles talked me into this 27752 and I am thrilled he did. I love the aniline leather and the attention to detail. And love how it just seems to change color with the lighting. All I have had up to this point is five star RWs. Five star is close on the pattern being the same, however it’s not even close on the beauty of the leather and attention to all the small details. There is a reason for the big price difference.
This is all from the first day. I can’t wait to see how the jackets molds to me and ages.

Beautiful brown you got there

Nice jacket. It suits you perfectly

Very nice!

Seeing this makes me miss my old “house” A-2. Eastman just has this great, subtle horsehide. I now have an RMC A-2, and while the shinki is nice, of course, I always preferred the house leather of ELC.

Charles generally has Eastman Jackets in stock there. The day my wife tried to buy the 1401-P in size 46 he had just sold his last one. He had 5 in stock of the 27752 in size 46. When the new shipment came in 3 weeks later with more 1401s in size 46 she got one too.
Just be aware the price of their A2s just went up 225 dollars reflecting the cost of the tariffs that were imposed.
