Beautiful jacket

Thanks for the thread link! I think I’ll give the stormsure a try. Otherwise it’s off to Eastman for a new zip...

Hi all, I have a ELMC G-1, it’s awesome but the Talon zipper tape has started to fray at the base. I read on another thread that clear nail varnish would shore it up / stop it from getting worse. Is that correct? any advice would be appreciated. Thanks all!

I agree, definitely speak to Shawn first!!

Hi, My build is similar to you and I have a Size 40 Fivestar A2 from Shawn in his bronco pattern. It’s in Seal Goatskin with Olive knits and kaki lining and I love it. I ordered a 38 first and it was too small for me, the 40 is pretty much perfect. Pics below:

I think @ties70 has one of Shawn’s A2 bronco patterns in that colour...

How does the BK Cable compare?

I have the FS bronco, I’m very pleased with it. The Weber is nice too so I’m sure you’ll be happy with either. Shawn is a gentleman too!

Thanks, I thought that might be the case...

I love the BK Arco 18775 too, would love to see some pictures when you have it. Do you know why BK label it as an Arco not Aero?

Hi All, I recently received another Fivestar A2 jacket and thought I’d share a picture or two. It’s a ‘Bronco’ in Seal brown goatskin with olive knits, olive thread and kaki-lining. This time I went up a size (40) and the fit is good, personally I feel the cut of this jacket suits my body shape...

Thanks thats helpful for next time! :)

Hi Garry, The smell is there but ok, its fairly strong on opening the package but mostly from being contained in the plastic during transit i think. Both of mine don't really smell now and as i'm selling them on i haven't taken them out of the packaging. If i was keeping them then I would wear...

Hi B-Man! Yes, its a real shame, they're lovely jackets. There was a little mis-communication on my body measurements versus the garment measurements, nobody's fault really. Shawn has been a gentleman throughout and i can't fault the product or the service i have received. Unfortunately as...

Hi All, Finally received my Fivestar A2 Doniger's - One is in Russet Brown leather with Russet brown knits, the other in Redish Brown leather with seal brown knits, both are premium 1.2mm goatskin. Unfortunately both are too small for me which is very disappointing as they're beautifully made...
