Five Star Leather Rough Wear 27752 on their FB page

[Ritchy]

I studied the different models and their dimensions on the Fivestar website. I particularly like this Rough Wear but it seems shorter at the back and sleeves and wider at the shoulders than the other models. Could this shape be suitable for a tall person (1.90m). Can anyone confirm the dimensions of size 44?

Hi,
Mine is size 44
Pit to pit 59 cm
Sleeves 66 cm
Length 67cm ( 64cm of the rack )
shoulders 46cm
I'm 1.83m and about 84kg ( add 1kg during the weekends )

I did ask to add 3 cm to the length of the jacket. Would have been a bit short for my liking otherwise.

Thank you Blackboxr1200S, I'll ask more lenght too if I'll choose this pattern.

I also add 3 cm in length on the back of my dubow and really happy with the modification definitely looks better.TheRoughwear 27752 make 65cm in length on the back and a little bit on the shortside...

There happens to be a black R1200S BMW in the garage and was the inspiration for that silly username at the time

Today I bought my first 5star leather, I wanted a colour very different of my Monarch BK (seal brown) so it is a United Sheeplined in whisky Horseside colour.
I expect to be proud of the product and the firm, and after I'll surely buy this perfect RW 27752, for a nice trilogy.

Thank you Peter
Did you put more lenght on the sleeves too?

one of my often repeated comments..............................if these things actually get WORN for a period of time, they can look the business and don't have to be the high priced options or 10000000% accurate in every detail. looks great!!!

Boo-Hiss.

Thank you Peter

No, Not on the Rough Wear A-2

Sleeve length in the 5* size 44 are exactly the length I require.

.....and here is another Five Star RW from a customer photo: I ask you all, how is this NOT pretty much level competition with the high end folks? Great hide and details. Still a few things no doubt but again, the price difference is huge. Very impressed with the headway Shawn and crew have made/are making. Owner says its their Brandy HH which always looks way more red in other photos so maybe thats a thing/an issue but I think this jacket is $350 new plus shipping. That's amazing and you get it made for you in 2-3 weeks................. the cuff knits look a bit wonky and it looks like possibly one pocket flap is a bit larger than the other? But, based on this photo, I am asking why this would not be considered as good as any other RW repro/maker?

The flap and other parts are glued.

I'd like to see a different liner color. They lost the vertical sides of the box on the label due to folding or wear on their available example. Yes, a great jacket!

Edit: maybe the customer chose a different color, early 5* prototype:

I'd love to see photos of your Sheeplined when you receive it. I don't think I've seen a Five Star Sheeplined customer photo yet.

OK, so very little to NOT like, I suppose they could NOT glue parts (could ask them not to) they have other liner colors and a minor point with the label. $350 vs. $1,500. So, I guess one CAN make a really nice quality A-2 for a reasonable price after all.

Buy one. Looking forward to fit pics.

Not necessarily going to take the plunge but I am super impressed.

NOPE checked on my jacket the seam is correctly done the 2 pieces are hold together by an adhesive tape to hold the parts of leather while stitching does not bother me we do that @the shop... like others do.

Had a look yesterday on both jackets, when reading that comment (again)
Doesn't look any different than any other maker flap or whatever construction.
Anyway that Brandy HH RW looks great.

nope!

They use double sided adhesive tape to fix the parts for easier sewing but everything is sewed up correctly

I own one of those 5* RW as well

Hello sir,
Last year a friend bought an A-2 5* and looking at the leather of the flap I found strange the hardness of this part of the jacket after handling you can feel that it is glued. Maybe not all their production.
