FIVESTAR LEATHER A2 JACKET

[Brettafett]

Those are exactly what my Dubows measures, 'cept I have a touch more in the sleeves.

My old Platon sz 44 Dubow was a full inch shorter in back length.

Scratching my noggin... One must wonder why

My old Platon sz 44 Dubow was a full inch shorter in back length.

Thanks, my second Platon Dubow 42 has the same measurements but is 3/4" shorter in back length.

Came across a picture of a russet Rough Wear that closely matches to the color Shawn developed. As an original, it even has color chipping.

Russet horsehide Dubow inbound!

Photography is characteristically bad, but the grain on the back panel looks fantastic, and I like that the area where the leather meets the knit doesn't look squishy and spongy like other examples I've seen from 5*. Will update with in-person photos when it arrives. I know everyone loves the Dubow goat, but the russet horse is what makes my heart happy. Wouldn't it be a shame if I had to get another one in goat?

That is a sharp-looking jacket. Are those alpaca gloves?

Been saying it since 1998. Technology will take off one day....

It’s not me, just the picture from @Shawn Ali ’s Facebook account

This must be sort of "low quality HH" from a modern industry standpoint but looks perfect in re inconsistent grain for vintage jackets. Shawn has only the brown right now. Looks a little reddish???? Me likey

 

[B-Man2]

I think the red tone is the filter or the lighting he uses when he takes his photos.
A lot of his jackets look red in the pictures he posts .

With all of my KUDOS to Shawn and the great work he has done, I would love to try one of his A-2's with this hide but damn..........I just don't think the patterns look good yet except for the Dubow (which is one of my least favorite contacts). I think his RW repos look pretty good???? Anyway, this hide seems to be perfect. Maybe some other vintage pattern for me. and again, Shawn has done an awesome job with his line up!!!!!!

New jacket! Love it, but it's this a little short? Per normal? I've never owned one before.

 

[mulceber]

Nah, that's about right. A-2s are waist-length jackets. I think it's also partly that you appear to be wearing low-rise trousers. Try something a little higher-waisted and it'll go well with the A-2.

Jacket is right….
Pants are wrong ……
