Two ELMC Californians Different Color Different Size. Which One Would You Keep?

I'd Keep the one that is the most comfortable.
At my age (64+) comfort is becoming the most important.

44 is the obvious choice IMO. The fact that the voting is not a landslide is a testament that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder

BOTH!

So, if I were to have to choose just one it would be the 44 Havana for fit and color. Win-win!

I think you should keep both and cough up that Goodwear you beat me too recently

Hey @Brandrea33 which Goodyear did I beat you to, lets talk.

It was the black Mustang Hercules jacket Am I in a dream ….

I would keep both of them. The lighter, trimmer version for when you just throw on a T-shirt and jacket and you are good to go. The darker for a cooler heavier shirt and jacket day, also the looser fit with a shirt hanging out can be an easier relaxing way to go too. Both colors are gorgeous and worth keeping.

44. And by a hair. I'd be happy owning either.

Thanks much for all the feedback guys. I have decided to put them both up for sale at what I paid for them. If they don't sell, then I will keep both. If only one sells I will keep the other, and if they both sell, then I just might order a new Havana in a 44L.

These are pretty nice jackets (imo), and don't show up used in larger sizes very often.

Both have unique and different qualities, but I think both jackets are beautiful.

Thanks again,

Peace,

David

Eastman ELMC Californian Havana 44

$750 shipped USA This is a very nice jacket but just seems a bit short on me. It has been worn, but still feels like it has some break-in left, and the Italian horsehide will continue to show more color and patina. These are approximate measurements with the jacket laying flat, please see...
