Here's my Five Star B-10 with blonde collar:
Looks good. I see the blonde collar; did you go with the khaki shell, is it faded, or just the appearance in direct light?
Are you pleased with the design and construction?
What're your weight and height, what size did you order? Are you pleased with their fit?
Thanks for any insight. Bronson is a long way from retooling theirs.
Aloha,
John

Never ever cold again:

brandnew B7 parka from @Shawn Ali - except the B7 available from "Noble House" i never before had hands on another one so there is no real comparison for me but i like it ...

I'm glad i followed you guy's advice and ordered the 46

Compared with period pics the fit looks pretty accurate - material is awesome and folks i happy with it

Is Shawn the same fella who runs Five Star?
What size would you have normally gone with, such that you ended up with a 46?
That fur around the hood looks like the real deal.
Cheers from So.Cal., where I'll never need such a beautiful jacket.

It’s Nov 1, it was +4c when I went out for a hot chocolate ride, wearing my schott, a leather shirt and heated vest
When I took this pic the temp had dropped to +1c , a little chilly but it’s Nov and I’m still riding
I look at it as poor man’s cryogenics :p
Oh if your wondering gas tank is actually under the seat

Hi John,

Shawn is indeed the bloke who owns 5Star.

As for the size i choose the same size i have in G1 jackets.

Did a short comparison of their sizechart with my ELC B3 and pulled the trigger.

Nah - SC will never "provide" proper weather to wear such cool stuff.

Well i feel sorry for you John ...

:)

USN day here for me today...original A-2 Deck Jacket for the morning walk with the doggies, followed by the ELC M-422a for an afternoon stroll to the city...

it's interesting how "different" it feels to wear the original Star G-1 compared to the repro ELC M-422a ;)
There are many reasons for that- mostly having to do with the materials used. Hard to replicate original goatskin. BTW- where are you?
