Thanks for the info Pilot, very helpful.

There you go.

This is my Korean War era A-17 which I think is from 1954. Well worn but original and still keeps good time.

That’s an interesting hide mate, would be keen to see it outside Shawn’s blue tint photos. Is it pull up or is it aged?

id love to see some photos Somer, maybe I should be looking at a Star.

Hi all. I’m in the market for another 5* A2 and am tossing up between a Roughwear 27752 or the Poughkeepsie in Pull up horse or mid brown. The thing I’m unsure of is the fit of the contracts. I’m a big fella at 6’3, 100kgs and a chest, belly and hip measurement of 43in, 42in and 41in. Which...

It does dull somewhat JR. mine is not as shiny as it was at first and the colour has lightened a little but I think that’s more about the the gloss fading with wear.

The actual skin is fine, more in the coloured top coat. I’ve had no issues with it and it’s wearing beautifully but it doesn’t feel as solid as the RMNZ B3 but is closer to the Aero and Eastman topcoats. It’s not really a fair comparison as the B3 I had was a Fenland hide plus the 5* doesn’t...

Hi Dany. Th be honest mate I don’t think you could beat 5* for “bang for buck. The hide is not as robust as some of the other sheepskins I’ve had (Aero, Eastman RMNZ) but that’s not to say it’s flimsy either, just not as solid. Best part of it is I wear it without buyers guilt and worrying...

Hi mate. The first photo is when I got the jacket 12 months ago and the others are the jacket nearly 12 months and one winter of solid wear (I Live in Australia and we are just heading out of winter). it’s an awesome jacket and the weight and thickness have been great in the Australian winter...

Hi Brylcreemer. I don’t have any photos on hand but will get a couple over the next day or two. Garry

I’ve had my 5* Werber D1 for about 9 months and worn it through the Australia winter. Awesome bit of kit and just gets better with every day.

I don’t think so Walt. It does extend the length a little but barely noticeable I think. Garry

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. Garry

Being from Edinburgh I’ve been there a few times. Don’t take your wallet and if all else fails, take your wife as there is temptation EVERYWHERE!! Aside from Aero that part of Scotland is beautiful and not hugely touristy. I actually prefer going to the borders rather than the highlands when...
