What color knit is that? Seal or russet brown?

FiveStar will make you a jacket any way you please. Just tell Shawn what you have in mind and they will make it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hey all, I was thinking about pulling the trigger on a bronco and I was wondering if anybody has bought a new one. I’ve seen the review of them but that was posted awhile ago. I know Shawn has made vast improvements to the Doniger jacket and I was curious as to the state of the Bronco.

If anyone can it will be him. He seems to have a special knack for it.

I bet there’s one or two out there, sitting in some long forgotten trunk in an attic or gathering dust in the back of some collectors closet.

I recently spoke to Shawn at 5star, they are running behind on production due to the pandemic. He said it will be a few weeks before production resumes.

Would the faux fur be an option? I’ve owned a real fur coat before and had a bad allergic reaction. For people like me faux would be the only way we could enjoy owning one of these coats.

My Shawn, Are you going to have any new A-2 jacket makers?

It looks like a cockpit USA with fake aging.

I would like to add to the list a couple off the beaten path makers if I may. https://www.toppots.net/main.php?do=clientcategory&action=home&id=407 http://onlinemilitaria.net/products/c140-FLIGHT-SUITS-CLOTHING/

Sm Wholesale will do custom sizes for any thing over 50 in USA size. But it’s pricey.

I was waiting until until I had my 5th AF. Patch added and the sleeves shortened a few inches but here you go: some quick and dirty pics. When I’ve had the alterations made I will post more/better pics.

How big are they? As in their circumference
