Hope that my own CR develops sleeves like this. Looks great!

^^Benny, you don’t know how right you are..
More of an omission than a lie..so when she asks me next fall if this is a new jacket , I can honestly say no, I’ve had it for a while..

I’ve used that line so many times. LOL

And here’s the thing: time is relative. So if I opened the box at noon and my wife sees it at 7 pm, I can still say I’ve had it “a while.” A while can be several hours, days, months....

My wife is no longer appeased by the "I've had it for a while" reply. She has caught on to my intentionally imprecise and indirect responses to her "is that new" query.


I use a Clinton-esque tecnhique.

It depends how you define "new". New this week, this month or this quarter?

She's long ago seen right through the, "oh, this old thing?"

ELMC J-100? Looks like it was made for you!

I'm so close to buying that. I have a Californian that fits perfectly. Measurements lead me to believe that the J-100 is close enough that the same size "should" work. Only issue is that my Californian is a long. Long in the J-100 isn't returnable.

Thanks, its such a great easy to grab and go jacket and I'm lucky that I seem to fit the Eastman pattern pretty well.

I would say the 42 J-100 fits a little closer to my 40 Californian rather than my 42 Cali.

The main difference between the two Cali's is the room in the body anyway, there isn't a huge amount of different in the shoulders and chest between the 40 and 42 and the J-100 is fairly trim through the body.

Thanks for the clarification! Much appreciated.
