THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I've been shooting high power and palma with a creedmoor cloth coat for a number of years. I realize it's time to move up to a leather coat. I checked out the creedmoor website and their hardback leather coat will take four months to ship. I've got a number of matches coming up, including the western cmp games, and I'm considering the champion's choice leather coat instead.
anybody use this one? feedback?

The creedmoor hardbacks are made to order. They are made to fit YOU individually. The quality and design is well worth the wait. i would just go ahead and finish this season as is and get your Hardback coat ordered and you will have it ready for next season. Its cheaper in the long run, because you wont have to buy the champions choice now, and then the Creedmoor later. Personally I would rather shoot without one until i got my hardback than spend my money on an inferior coat.

Have to agree. Your coat should not be a compromise based on being in a rush.....

But since you seem to be, watch the boards for used coats in your size. You might even find one at Creedmoor sitting there ready for just a few alterations.... give them a ring?

I have a very old CC size 38 that I used for a long time. The quality is good and the prices for CC are reasonable. At first I found the European "top grip" rubber odd compared to the regular rubber, but got used to it. I currently have a Creedmore cordura hardback and it's very nice. I like the ventilation and the zipper in the arm.
