Eastman book question

[Greg Gale]

Can anyone who has Gary's book look something up for me, please? What color is specified for the Star Sportswear contract's knits? Any info regarding this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Looks to be mid brown

This is as close to how I see it in person. Not sure what the monitor you view it in will do though.

Here’s a picture of my original Star . Everything is original on this jacket including the knits so you can judge the color pretty accurately.

Yeah I’d go with Burt’s example. Pictures even in eastmans book can reflect a different hue due to printing.

mid brown on most. lighter brown on some, depending batch and fading due to sun.

Burt, wow that’ s impressive...thx for sharing.

Another impressive thing is how strong my book is after my repair. Can’t believe for $90 thay book was bound so cheaply. Wasn’t even a hinge built into it. So a little advert. If you have one and it’s beginning to fail around the binding I can fix it so it will open just as beautifully but never break again.

Thanks for the info. I have one and it’s still like new, but in case it starts to fall apart, I know where to go!!

Jeremiah and Burt, thank you so much for these photos.
For me as for the Eastman's Star owner is very useful and interesting to see it, thanks again for sharing.

Burt, that jacket is incredible - looks just like it was issued

You have some seriously choice stuff.

Burt, I agree 100% with Dave ... it's a time machine.

J, Burt, thank you so much for your helpful replies. It does seem like mid brown, maybe a bit darker shade. Burt, that's a stunning jacket in breathtaking condition. It looks like a NOS, just unbelievable! You're a lucky man!

ACME Depot has also a very nice revue of the Star A-2 .
Maybe of interest.
