I agree. I dived in when I saw the FB update and could not find anything. New B-3 is on the website apparently.Members should not be asking other members what the prices are and whats available ? ,wouldn't you think .

What's the deal with five star?
They look like pretty typical Werber caramel knits to me. Lighter, at any rate, than Shawn’s russet/seal offerings.

Dear @P-47 thunderboltWhat's the deal with five star? All sounds a bit suspect to me, copying aero styles and names, super cheap horsehide. How ethical is this company? Where is their source material coming from? Website is US but product made in Pakistan. Also why is the horsehide 'elastic'? Could it have been been rolled/stretched?
Dear JeffMost people think I am out of order . But this way of doing business is not normal ,word of mouth customers cruise by and are not au fait with everything that's going on at FIVE STAR or whats offered or on the back burner .Then there gone missed opertunity but this is OK because we give him a pass because he is busy and the price is right .Look the man Shawn has made some boo boos and we pointed out in the past this is not how things are done ,this is one of those occasions . I am trying to help him get more revenue in not block the potential that's out there worldwide . He needs to get an Intern is to sort out the website if he is to busy not do all the work himself delegate and rise to the next level but oversea all not lose control . This extra revenue will afford him better equipment better materials and buying power .Once it is known he is a major manufacturer ,suppliers will be coming to him not him looking for what he need for the next project . Gone are the days of buying leather for 20 jackets buying leather for 150 jackets and getting a discount on the cost and sourcing primo material . I thought we were helping Shawn with the development and progress you all are acting like we have arrived and everything is how it should be . I do not understand the negativity to my comments what I am pointing out is basic .

Dear @MrProperDeal with 5*?
I get a jacket exactly according to my ideas and my own measurements at a reasonable price.
For this I accept that the choice of leather and colors is limited.
That's the deal.
And whoever is suspicious of that, just buys somewhere else.
