    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Sean, did you receive the jacket already? If you did, do you mind if I ask you how much duty and taxes you paid on delivery? Thanks

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    That's great! Did ELC send you a confirmatory email to let you know that it shipped or did you email them for that info? Also please post pics of the jacket once you get it :) . Not sure when mine is coming :( I emailed ELC and Gary told me that they are still waiting for the materials...

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Wow :) that's awesome! That means you might receive your jacket by the end of January. I hope the 8 weeks he quoted me is on the long side. Hopefully it will come sooner than that. I did order the RW B3 version and it does take a little longer to make than the seal version though. Cheers RG

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Hey Sean, I was wondering what ELC quoted you in terms of time frame for your jacket delivery. I remember you stated feb. Would that be early mid or late feb? Gary from Eastman quoted me an 8 week wait time before delivery which would put the delivery of my jacket around the end of feb to early...

    New Eastman B3!

    Is it better to order ELC jackets from HPA or directly from Eastman Leather UK? I just ordered an ELC Roughwear (Redskin) B3 from the UK website and the conversion from British pounds to Canadian dollars would have put the jacket around $925 Canadian without taxes and such. However if I ordered...

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Thanks for your info, Sean. I just ordered their Roughwear (Redskin) B3 version in a 44. Emailed them as well to make sure the 44 is right for me based on my measurements. Told them in the email to change it to a 42 if my measurements are more fitting for that. Hopefully I would hear from them...

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    is that 50% of the total price? So the duty/brokerage could be as much as$500 on top of the $900 you pay for the jacket? That seems a bit much

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    LOL! I hear ya regarding those Canada goose parkas. For the same price as them, I got a decent shearling civilian type B3 jacket locally for about $600. It handles -35 (windchill-40) with ease with only a medium turtle neck sweater. I wear a short sleeve shirt to work with this jacket on in -10...

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Are ELC true to size? I usually wear a 42S sport/suit. I have a 42 chest, wear a 36 pants( i'm a little rotund :) ) and 5'6.5" tall. Should I go for a 42 or 44 in the ELC B3. Some members on this forum say that ELC tends to fit snuggly. I would like to have the option to wear a medium thick wool...

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Hi Sean, I'm in the market of purchasing a B3 jacket as well. I live in Calgary. Did you order directly from Eastman's UK website or from the History Preservation website? Also you mind telling me about how much Canadian you paid for it and if there were any custom/duty/brokerage fees as well...
