I got an Eastman a2 slender that I’m going full force with the patches but I’m really encouraged by the way you say the fit of the star sports wear is as I’m hoping to purchase one at the weekend and I was going to leave in original condition but now I’m tempted to put a name tag (Lt.Skywalker) .nice one Art
By the way my eastman slender post was in response to a members post I was reading who had just got a starsportwear mfg A2 as I was interested in fit pics.. he mentioned patching it .. I have obviously made a mistake sorry ....Nice one Arr

For the first time this winter, it has been cold enough to wear the Beast!

well, as of 2 weeks ago I had to put my A-2s away for the season. :( 70's and 80's (82º yesterday, today and 83º for tomorrow and Sunday...) pollen is thick and flowers in bloom so its unlikely I'll get to wear my Star Sportswear, Rough Wear 42-1401P and Aero 16160 until late October or early November. I wore the heck out of them and loved every minute of it! I used to look forward to spring and summer but no longer.. now I mourn putting my A-2s on hiatus ... perhaps during the summer I'll kick the air conditioner on high and put one on inside. :D

Blimey Edward, where in the world are you? Where I am in the UK it’s -3c this morning and with wind chill feels like -8c! I’m wishing I didn’t sell my B-3 and an A-2 just wouldn’t cut it!

It will be the D-1 with an A-1 underneath and nice warm undershirt when I venture out later. Brrrr!:confused:

That Stanier is dreamland to me. As I'm typing this I'm wearing just my Billabong boardies and am contemplating a surf, its 35'C. A2 wear is another solid month or two away, and shearling, in the deep depths of Winter when the Bunyips come out to play in the mountains. ;)

Could you please post pics of your D1?

I have not any jacket to wear at this time. I've sold my 7823 CAGLECO G-1 size 44 last year and looking for a good 42 sized G-1, original or a very good repro.

We had a high of -10C yesterday but with strong winds it was -25 effective. Today it's relatively "mild", a high of -4 during the day and with lessening winds from yesterday so it's right now -14 effective ;)

And we're on the coast if you drove an hour inland it'd be in the high teens/low twenties minus easily.

A little too cold in Vancouver right now for A-2, I can wear my CWU 45-p or my Tanker jacket. Had a big dump of snow yesterday and last night. Have to wait until April for the A-2 to come out. Still waiting for my vintage Franco Canadian jacket to be restored at Aero Leather Clothing Scotland. Hmm wonder what happened to that? Have to e-mail Ken.
