May be someone should offer to drop ship it to him ,and the cost would be credit towards a new jacket .Shawn if you read this have the seller ship it to me in the USA and I will send it on to you . Thats when you find one you like !. Ties your Five Star A2 looks good now its worn in a bit .

Here is one at $170 ( get the pattern and the details you need ,repair it and get your money back )

This company only made them in Goatskin ,works for you ? .You cannot use the name I Spiewak & son is still in business and have been since 1904

Dear BIP,

I really Like your Idea, If you can buy and ship this to me, I can pay your full or can provide you a totally custom jacket whatever you required. Otherwise I will Buy this through our USA warehouse.

Yes Ties, totally... You know what may be a good solution... (Shawn if you are reading this ;) )
If a member here can get a hold of a rotting old WW2 A-2, thats decent enough to take apart, copy patterns from and study the details.... And then send to Shawn.
Perhaps Shawn could carefully replicate this jacket, with all the right bits in all the right places. Decent zippers, studs, seamless knit, all the right colours etc... Get it right.
Then he could make a jacket to spec, and send to the person who sent him the original, gratis.
As an idea ;)
Would be more than worth it for Five Star.

Thanks for the great Idea, I can assurelly work as you suggested, I have no problem at all to do so. I can make major steps in just a week time period.
I appreciate your idea.

Pulling apart a beaten up original is without doubt the best way to go. Would be nice if Shawn could get his hands on one and see what could be done. Some decent hardware, a nice characterful leather, good lining and a good label. It's not rocket science.

Thanks for suggestions, and agreed

Shawn,

Get that jacket! It is a contract made of goatskin, FiveStar's preference and expertise, helps you to better figure out the inset sleeve construction (which can be useful for another goatskin contract, Doniger, as well). A perfect shortcut to get proper patterns.

Build a F. STAR & Sons, build a Doniger... I would buy them!

Best regards

Ties

Ask the seller if he would drop ship it to me in the USA and I will send it on to you .
Tell him I am in NY with 100% as a seller with 6000 + feedback .

I'm a flight jacket artist and World War II reenactor. I've been looking on the forums for a little while and was just interested in finding out more about the jackets that Shawn and five star leather are producing as I've been looking to get a more custom A2 jacket made.
