79-years-old debt to all D-Day veterans

Still, the usual safety precautions are to be taken...

To put it simply, is there a happily married man here, that owns more jackets than his wife/gf has pairs of shoes or purse ? ----> No ‍♂️ (or not yet at least, as we never know what future is made of)

That's great, thanks ! In its size 46/2XL, that happens to be the contract Fivestar offers that best suits my measurements, without a need for custom (or maybe shoulder .3" narrower)

Hello Jan, does that imply you also provided Shawn with thorough measurements of main parts/lenghts of an original United Sheeplined ?

Hello ! great jacket and fits you well ! I'm contemplating the purchase of another Fivestar A2, i'm looking at their Doniger, may i ask what color of goatskin it is ?

so many positive comments ! Hope Shawn reads them. It's calling for a thread of its own with photos of its owner wearing the shit out of it, ok let the sunnier spring days come !

I couldn't agree more, Shawn and the boys have done a super job. If i was to order a second one today, it wouldn't take long before i scroll down 5* leather jackets pages. I'm glad you like it, i'm enjoying wearing it since i had it, can't wait to see it nicely aging !

Hello, to make it up for my poor pictures posted yesterday as thumbnails, here is a new set taken under France west coast gloomy morning daylight. I slightly adjusted the exposure, but they're faithful to what this 5* Dubow 20960 really looks (and tell why i was a bit doubtful at first sight...

Salut ! so did you make your mind as to what jacket maker&contract you'd be buying for your first A2 ? (ou bien j'ai raté quelque chose ? --> French here too !) After a looonng wait, just bought my very first A2 last week, went the Five Star HH Dubow 20690 way, size 44, havn't made any...

Your It looks much like the very thread color, contrast and general effect i can observe on my jacket !

Thanks guys ! Both for the welcome words and your inputs, learnt a lot already ! For those who mistook my jacket for a later 27798 no worries, i guess my photos were confusing. That one pic showing the entire jacket is totaly off i realize, way too light and russet... The close-up ones are...

Thanks ! I must say on the pics Shawn initialy posted of that real Dubow he aquired, although a bit hard to tell for sure, the thread appeared to be "Tan", then checking elsewhere on the web for genuine pieces, i was also under the impression i was looking at tan/orangish thread. I guess i just...

Thanks for your reply and the infos ! "Tan" is certainly the proper color name i was looking for, and then glad to know this color is realistic for this contract !

Hi everyone ! I'm new to this forum and i hope i didn't miss any presentation protocole before that first post ! If so i appologize and will correct this asap. I just received my 5* J.A Dubow 20960 midbrown HH, size 44. I wanted a rather early model/pre-war and understand this contract was. I'm...
