i just wanna share some pics of my late Christmas gift (thx to my wife) a RW27752 A2 made by @Shawn Ali and his dudes at Fivestar ...
The hhide ist absolutely nice - appearance and weight are both comparable to the high-end (high-price) brands. The price vs. value ratio is imho much better than on any TMC/RMC jacket (keeping in mind all facts like higher labor-costs in Japan aso)
Anyway - since i'm actually not that specifically an A2 guy and rathermore love G1s over A2 i actually never searched for originals before and thus ended up with a repop again. Oppose to my philosophie in G1 jackets go with originals only.
I still own 2 older A2 from Shawn and another RW i purchased about a year ago and for me the RW-specs do it best in terms of fitment aso. For me an A2 is not a jacket typically meant for layering underneath but rather be worn over a tee or a shirt.
I'm 1.90//6.3" and 100kgs/220lbs and wear a 46
As for the colorcombo i went with the HILTS-setup recommended by FIVESTAR - less the nametag

Details:
I like the "meatball"-decal pretty much even though someone might say the colors might look a bid too "fresh"
