GW Star Sportswear 42-18245. Delivered 10mins ago :-D

It‘s John‘s new Website-product-picture-jacket. I asked him about another jacket and he said he has this available as he wanted to switch the old pictures. So, waiting time for a new GW 5 days :-D

More pics of this jacket on his site, fitpics later.

That is one serious piece of work, great fit. You won't find anyone else anywhere that can create a Star collar like that.

Well done and enjoy in fine health!

Still can’t believe I had such luck. I never thought about ordering directly as the waiting times are so long.

 

[Saint-ex]

Perfect ! As expected !

Enjoy !

Congrats! I was hoping that Star would fall into someone's lap here on VLJ.

JC slimming down to a 42 is going to make all us 42's out there finally get a taste of what you 44 guys were getting all those years...an empty bank account.

This is actually a good thing (from a 44 guy who is bordering on a 46)…

JCs a great guy !

And this is the exact reason that JC has the following that he does. I think that the craftsmanship is only part of the recipe. The other part is that he's just a great dude with tons of knowledge that he's happy to share. There's not many things better than seeing a good person having success, doing the thing that they love most.
