Five Star B-6

Looks good Freddy, that collar already looks better than their website images which seems a bit pointy. That was what put me off the B6 and the nutty sizing info. Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Just got my B6 from Five Star, standard size , nothing custom done to it. I have to say Im impressed with it. Its softer than my Eastman, right color and thickness to the shearling, maybe a little longer than usual ,but I have seen photos of originals like that too. My main complaint would be the zippers are the ones that the puller has too much play and it gets stuck sideways at times. But for the delivery time and cost, I really love it.

Looks great, Tatoo. Shawn's really developing a niche in shearling jackets. Between this and his B-3, he's got some first-rate offerings.

My main complaint would be the zippers are the ones that the puller has too much play and it gets stuck sideways at times.

Might require some research, but you could totally upgrade the zipper sliders. Find a couple NOS or high-end repro talon zippers and get some pliers and a good tutorial and you're there.

Can i ask your measurements and what size jacket you went with?
I have a 43 chest so according to their size chart I went with their 48r. The fit is good for me and I have room for a sweater under it if I wish. I was worried about the fit, but it worked out great, and the length is great for me being I have a long torso and short legs.

The first impression is very good, the jacket appears to be well made and fits me spot on.
For now I only wore it a minute or so; later in the evening I’ll take it with me for a walk.
Interested to know what chest size you are and what size you ordered, also how is the length..? Fit pics..?
