I was one of the glowing reviewers of the 100 Mission.
It’s honestly a great repro and very affordable. The goat is pretty heavy compared to some and so perhaps not entirely correct. But it has great character and really does look like an old issue jacket of the 60’s that someone pulled out of their sea bag.
I love my ELC and it is my best fitting G-1. It does also feel like my most fragile G-1 however and there are small holes in the knit/lining already, probably from my watch.
Still, I’ve had it for several years so it’s not as fragile as all that.
Truly, if you are willing to put some work into it, you can’t get any more authentic than an original. I’ve had several repros, all of them lovely.
And yet every repro I’ve had is different from all the others and different from the originals I’ve seen.
So, depending on your authenticity needs....
Good luck with the search!
