Star again

[ZuZu]

Since I gave the GW Star to my son to use every time I see it on him I'm amazed at how it looks like a NOS original. The overdyed Shinki is perfect and the narrow epaulets and swooping collar look so Star-like. Stars are one of the only A-2s which had droopy shoulders often- as it ages this jacket's getting the exact right look.

Man, that’s a couple of beautiful jackets, gents.

Your son really does look great in your 48 Zu!

Thanks Burt- this group of photos really show a similarity. I have all your other photos as well- it's one of the jackets which inspired me to get a Star.

I see slight difference but I could definitely arrange the GW collar to fold exactly the same.

Side by side you can hardly see any difference .
