    ELC RW B-3 Warhorse

    1-5C with a light T-shirt would still be comfortable. Anything higher, I would wear just a plain leather jacket or a B6. On an opposite note, I've worn my ELC B3 in -30C (w/ wind chill makes it feel like -40C) with a thin wool sweater and I was very warm and comfortable. Great Winter Jacket! RG

    How warm is a B-3?

    I'm lucky I get to wear my ELC RW B3 consistently starting mid october up to April in some cases. Canadian winters can be long and brutal. Around Oct-Nov., it is on average between -2C to +6C. I can wear my B3 jacket with a short sleeved shirt or a light cotton short sleeved shirt without...

    My New ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket :)

    Hi Stephen, I am very happy overall with the jacket. I have been wearing it everyday for about a week now. The stiffness has improved somewhat and the tight cuffs have loosened to a more comfortable snug fit. I can actually tuck in my 100g thinsulate deerskin gloves under the cuff and it feels...

    My New ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket :)

    The jacket came at the right time :) Here in Calgary it's going to dip to -22 degrees celsius tomorrow. I shovelled my driveway this evening and it was -20C. I wore a light wool turtleneck and my RW B3 while shovelling and I was very comfortable. I'll never wear down filled jackets again ;)

    My New ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket :)

    Yes it's ELC roughwear (early pattern) B3 redskin. I really love the character of the hide as well. Very vintage and new at the same time

    My New ELC Roughwear B3 Jacket :)

    Hello Everyone, (I also posted this review in VLJ) After a 7 week wait, I finally got my Eastman Roughwear B3 Jacket size 44reg ☺ and what a beauty it is! This is my first jacket order from Eastman leathers and I am quite impressed. It arrived well wrapped and the packaging was top rate. It...

    Anyone still waiting to receive their ELC roughwear sheepskin jacket

    Hmmm. That makes no sense. I am now wondering how they made my jacket so fast then if they just received the material a few days ago? I know the email from Rob is true because I received a fedex confirmation of the shipment. Is the B3 pattern easier to make than the B6. Maybe what takes time...

    Anyone still waiting to receive their ELC roughwear sheepskin jacket

    Hi John Did ELC at least give you an ETA when your B6 will ship? I find it quite odd why my order (ordered in early jan) would ship earlier than your order (mid dec). From what I read, I'm sure your B6 would be worth the wait :)

    Anyone still waiting to receive their ELC roughwear sheepskin jacket

    Got an email today from Rob. The roughwear sheepskin is due to arrive later today or tomorrow morning. They can finally start clearing up the backorders. Hopefully my jacket will be completed in the next week to 2 weeks. The wait maybe almost over :)

    Anyone still waiting to receive their ELC roughwear sheepskin jacket

    Ordered an ELC roughwear B3 from Eastman UK on Jan 10, 2011. Still waiting for delivery. Got an email from Rob today and they are still waiting for delivery of their roughwear sheepskin material before they can make my B3. He is expecting shipment of the sheepskin within a couple of weeks. This...

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    That's one thick and warm sounding jacket! I saw on the news that Ontario is going to get a bit of the cold snap that we are experiencing here in Alberta - hopefully this jacket will keep you nice and warm. :) So what did your "Canada Goose" buddies have to say regarding your new"baby" ? :)...

    Differences between the ELC House B3 and ELC Roughwear B3

    Just wondering what my Fellow Loungers think... (thread also posted in VLJ for their feedback as well) While I wait ever so patiently to receive my ELC RW B3 from ELC UK (4 weeks and counting :D ), I was wondering what are the major differences between ELC's standard B3 and their RW B3...

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Sean, How thick is the fur and skin? Is it a heavy jacket? How stiff is it initially? Does the "broken grain" look nice and does it seem sturdy? Sorry for all the questions :)

    Ordered an ELC B-3

    Congrats on receiving your jacket! Can't wait to see your pics and review. Do you mind me asking what you paid for duty/tax on delivery? Hopefully my order will be delivered in the next 2 weeks (hoping for an early feb delivery). Cheers RG
