Would you stick up some pics of the collection? I started off with an A2 Eastman and then went for civilian repro jackets. I like the military jackets but prefer the civilian ones for me now. Wouldn't mind a D1 for the cold weather though.

I am now torn between the ELC Star or the Roughwear A-2.

Yes, we would like to see your collection!! Please!!

Get this, about a year ago I gave away one of those Irvins (older type 41/42 merino wool shiny outside size 44 that Eastman do) nothing wrong with it alittle worn at the front maybe , I just wanted the newer type ,I gave it to St Vincents De Paul. Like to think its keeping some tramp warm somewhere

OH about the Star or 27752 , the 27752 was one of the last I got , its agreat jacket very tough horsehide needs alot of breaking in.Its got a coller stand which makes it abit sticky uppy but I m sure it will where in . Also its suppose tobe the one Steve McQueen wore in the Great Escape ,Chuck Yeager wore the Monarqe , which I also have Lighter than the 27752 still agood jacket though . Dont know any thing about the Star maybe someone else has one out there they can help us both because thats my next one at the end of the month
