Ask your mum, sister, brother or the good looking neighbor to measure you up. Fill in the form and send it to Fivestar. Worked for me.

I'm with Butte above. Dress for the slide, not the ride. On a bike you wear a motorcycle jacket, that's constructed to serve as a motorcycle jacket, double or triple stitching, stretchzones, protectors. Regardless of style. sports, classic ... If you are planning to go to a bar, have a few...

The last 6 years, we spent every summer vacation in Normandy, working our way down from Dieppe to Mont Saint Michel. Most welcoming and hospitable region in France.

So it would seem... Top in Brandy Brown, bottom is Brandy

I once asked Shawn for a few samples, because as you say... pictures are deceptive and you have no idea what it looks like. Even here it's not easy, but you get the idea how "red" the brandy is compared to the brandy brown.

Prices "so so"?? Ciney is expensive! But, come early. Take your time, keep your eyes open and you can find some hidden gems and if your lucky for a reasonable price. I met Shawn and his brother last fall edition. Friendly guys. This spring he ain't going to make it. Ralf (...

This Sunday I'm attending the Ciney Military fair here in Belgium. One of the biggest in EU, twice a year (FYI) Fivestar is having their stuff displayed in one of the halls, Would love to see what that color looks like in real life.

Hi, Mine is size 44 Pit to pit 59 cm Sleeves 66 cm Length 67cm ( 64cm of the rack ) shoulders 46cm I'm 1.83m and about 84kg ( add 1kg during the weekends ) I did ask to add 3 cm to the length of the jacket. Would have been a bit short for my liking otherwise.

Vielen Dank Thomas. For my budget too, but as been said here above... If you want it, you want it!

Yep... Not regretting buying that one. Took a few years, but in the end just walked into the shop and brought it home.

Seal brown knits and olive stitching.
