FIVESTAR LEATHER G1 JACKET

[ausreenactor]

Probably tied to him sourcing an original to replicate. Irvin looks like the next project... be patient. The new jackets are coming tick and fast.

 

[Thomas Koehle]

Another one on the way - this time a hybrid tween G1 and ANJ3 with detachable mouton ...

Added press-buttons for the collar - nothing worse than the tips of your collar in your face when motorcycling ...

Another great jacket Thomas; big congratulations. Looks mighty fine man, mighty fine.

I have returned from being absent for three years. If you go back to Nov. 2018 and read about me buying a G1 flight jacket from Five Star and the problems I had with a horrible odor that came with the jacket that Five Star shipped. So here is an update on what has happen these past three years. I hung the GI. Spec. 55J14. Model. L.W. Foster Mfg. in the garage back in Dec. 2018. I let the summer heat and cold winters month try to release the odor. I read where Coconut Oil will make the leather soft and remove body odor. So, I bought a jar from Walmart and applied a good dose on the jacket. It appears that 50% of the odor went away. That was in September of this year. I applied another dose this past week and again what was left of the odor has completely gone from the jacket. So, it appears now that I finally can wear the GI out in public.

Just wanted to inform the members here of what happen since 2018. I have been wearing the jacket around the home here, getting it to adjust top my old body, as I turned 92 in October. Also, if Shawn Ali is reading this. I might sell this one he made and buy another one from him, only in size 47-48. The sleaves on this one is about 1" too long.

Welcome back! And you are 'killing tech' at 92 Sir!

Let us know what you think of the new jacket!

Is 5star G-1 tight fit or relax fit?
My tragical measurements are h180cm, w91kg, chest 113cm and I really can not says if it is size 46 or 48.

Edit: Size 48 ordered

 

[Otter]

I would say it is quite a slim fit. Shawn will custom fit for you, give him dimensions of your best fitting jacket and he will advise you. He is great at getting back to you and very accommodating.

 

[Otter]

Mine is a couple of years old and is my go to jacket for spring summer and autumn. I don't have to worry if I scuff it or get something on it which would kill me if it was an Eastman.

So you would never breaking a eastman in properly or develop the desired patina....

 

[Otter]

Five Star is lightning fast, which means it will still be a minimum of 2-3 weeks from ordering to delivery.

If you haven't heard anything at all from Shawn, that's slightly disconcerting, but I'd still rest easy. If you haven't heard from Shawn or received a jacket in about 2 weeks, then you can send him another message, but in the meantime, try and divert yourself with other things. Your jacket will arrive.

But I DONT wanna wait

 

[mulceber]

Like it or not, waiting will get to be an old friend in this hobby.

 

[Dirty L]

Well, I have to wait. but not for long. Jacket is on the way

 

[Dirty L]

Jacket arrived, looks good exept the back side...does it adapt for my body? or is it just wrong size?
The belly section cant be any smaller.

 

[PilatusPilot]

So I know that Shawn got a few real g1's on his hands, does anyone know when he'll be making them in repros? I've been waiting for so long to get a new model g1 from five star. Any news?
