FiveStar Leather Latest Developments 2023

[Shawn Ali]

Dear All

In hopes that you are fine and doing good, Well I am writing after some time because of some work load with the new developments and projects, here I will explain about the developments we already made and those which are under development

1. We developed the Right Sheepskin Color For the RAF Flying Jackets which was advised by many customers to update, so some of its images are attached below
New Improved Sheepskin for the RAF Flying Jackets is ready, this is the accurate color for the RAF Sheepskin Jackets both from outside finish to the Fleece Color, You can check some comparison images of a smaller swatch which was carefully separated from an Original jacket, both the outside color, its finish and inside fleece color is reproduced exactly the same as original

The Original Jacket from which we get this copied is mentioned below

2. We also developed the Right Sheepskin for the Type B-7 Parka and the and the Type A-6 flying Trousers, we are lucky to find the original examples from a Friend its comparison images are attached below

All of the patterns are ready and very soon we will post its final examples in this Thread. Meanwhile we are also looking for some suggestions to make the best repro's.

Thanks for reading, and more stuff will be uploaded soon, as we have a lot of projects to share with you

Best Regards

Shawn

Really cool Shawn - I like the color of the that Irvin sheerling, and that B-7 sheerling looks like it would be great for an S.F.A.D. B-3 as well. Here's the older (I think?) version of Eastman's repro for comparison:

Dear Jan

Thanks for your suggestions, we already received a custom order to make this with that fleece which we made for B-7 Parka, as its inside fleece color is same as B-3 Jacket.
I will post some results soon

While I think it's great you're making these as I know some AAF reenactors who'll want a set or two, how well could something like that sell?
I just can't imagine a big market for something like that.

 

[B-Man2]

I’d agree with the above comment . I had two original sets of Sheep lined flight pants in mint condition and had a tough time selling them .

 

[mulceber]

It's a pretty niche market, I agree, but Eastman offers A-3 pants, so apparently there's some demand for them. I figure, by offering them at about a third of the price that Eastman does, Shawn's got a decent chance of attracting interest. I imagine there's a fair few people on the board who own a B-3 (whether from Shawn or someone else), have always thought it would be cool to complete the set, but could never justify paying Eastman's price of £1349 for the pants.

 

[busdrivermike]

Oh yeah I love the new sheepskin for the RAF jacket , now that I’m working regularly
Again I’m thinking about getting an Irvin jacket again.
The pants are an interesting idea, were more into snowmobiling I’d consider
A jacket and pants as they would look great and be warm for Canadian winter
