Hi all I haven’t been on here in quite a while due to work etc so I thought I would show my latest purchase off FiveStar. Its a lovely 55J14 G-1 in size 42. I chose one of Shawns Seal Brown goatskin G-1s but got him to make it with a lighter reddish brown mouton collar instead of the dark...

Also found this tag in the pocket. Manufacturers tag?

Morning all. My ebay gamble purchase has finally turned from the US! I got very lucky with this as I wasn’t stung for import charges and overall didn’t pay over the odds for a mint G-1 ($199 posted). Straight out of the box I noticed the knits are original and in near perfect condition as is the...

Afternoon all. Thought I’d share my latest purchase off ebay of a fairly mint looking Star Sportswear G-1 in 42. I’ve been inspired by that Jorge fella on here that seems to be buying up all the decent vintage G-1 jackets and has amassed something like 200? I haven’t received it yet as its...

I’m so glad I’m back at work today. The past 3.5 months off due to being mobilised with the army reserve has been a nightmare. How I haven’t managed to blow my savings on ebay purchases is a miracle! I went down the rabbit hole when it come to searching out stuff on that website. I think at...

Welcome to the madness! Just out of interest where the hell are you lot finding these issued G1s for $50? All i can find is one that are between $2-300 lol

Not my listing or any affliation but I thought this might be of interest for someone that wants a reasonably priced Aero A2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143660052483

it was literally a case of "oh look a decently priced second hand aero A2" thats within my budget. I'm under no illusions of buying a cut down jumper and chinos trying vainly to look like the great Steve McQueen! Not unless theres a forgotten film out there where he played a mildy...

Yep just got these off the ad. I’m not gonna buy it as i’ve got my heart set on a 60s/70s issued G1 or a new G1 from Shawn but its at £200 at the mo. Bargain if you like this style IMHO

Yep I found a post from around 4 years ago on their facebook page saying they were sending a V.Hilts repro to their stockist motolegends. This is where the seller purchased it new. I think you're right in that I think the seller hasn't measured it out correctly and looking on Aero online the...

Evening all. I was browsing ebay earlier and found an Aero Great Escape A2 with some fairly blurry photos. The sizing label says 42 and from the fairly blurry photos looks to be in excellent condition as stated by the seller. I know from reading on here that a lot of the sizing labels can be...

Looks fantastic. I need to stop browsing these forums as my bank balance is going to take a battering!

after reading through that thread i'm ordering one of these next! i'm just waiting for my cooper g1 to come back with new cuffs and waistband but the only issue is that jacket is a 44 and fits a bit baggy like this did. there's no way on earth that jacket is going anywhere near the bath or...

yeah i think so but not by much. i definitely noticed the back wasn't bloused out as much.

Definitely more snug. It’ll settle quite nicely in the next few weeks i reckon.
