That means no social outings or visiting family. Nothing but making jackets right?

Looking great! I thought you had a sort of retro/period neckerchief on for a second there Took quite a while to come in the post? Congrats on getting it.

I'm not sure, I couldn't see any mention of workplaces but I think they may still be open. 10 months approaching...

March ordered BK Star displayed in full colour today on VLJ..

Thanks! Yeah, Andy sent it about 2 weeks ago, and it pretty much always takes forever to reach the states from Greece. 10 days in customs is about the shortest amount of time it's taken, tbh.

 

[ChampThrice]

10 days in customs?! Ouch!

 

[Brettafett]

That looks amazing! Superb fit.
I bet that goes some way to making up for this ball-ache of a year... Wear it in good health!

Oh, indeed. If there’s one thing that 2020’s been great for, it’s my jacket collection. Still not sure if that’s ultimately a good thing...

 

[Brettafett]

Jan, how does the Star fit compared to your 23380 and other jackets?

Asset consolidation! 2020 has been the greatest consolidation of wealth since the GFC....

I would say it's like a Dubow fit, but a bit tighter in the belly, and with RW 23380 arm holes. From what you've said about what you like about your different BK jackets, I think it would be your perfect jacket, Brett.

10 days in customs? .... Luxury (Monty Python Four Yorkshiremen style for those familiar with that sketch)... the RW23380 I picked up from GW in May positively flew across the pond only to land in treacle with our fine Post Office customs service.

Great looking Star.

 

[Flightengineer]

Very nice, Jan. Love all in your BK incl.cuffs

 

[Bremspropeller]

That Star looks great!
Kind of thinking about getting one, too. Is that Liberty HH?

 

[mulceber]

Yep - Liberty seal.

Just less than a week before the 10th-month anniversary of me placing my order I actually received my jacket today! And I must say it's absolutely beautiful: the leather is so supple and textured beautifully, the lining feels heavyweight quality in the right way and the cut is fantastic- I love the way it drapes off the shoulders. It's a slightly more restrictive cut around the shoulders than other similar jackets I have surprisingly (especially when you raise your arms up in front, so I don't know how driving will be in it) but overall I'm over the moon with it. This is the Relic Hunter in Striated Lamb.
I don't know if I could face buying from BK again though: 10 months of waiting was a bit too stressful for me and felt like too much of a leap of faith. But I'm very glad I have the end product now.

 

[mulceber]

Fantastic, ChampThrice - can't wait to see some pics!

 

[Brettafett]

I've emailed, but as yet no response lol
