Agreed - it's really the best compromise between a shearling jacket and an intermediate flight jacket. It's on par with a B-10 or B-15 in terms of warmth.

Out and about for coffee and shoveling in the -15c but snug as a bug in the noble house

They really are awesome those LL Bean ones. Been tempted myself, maybe once I wear out one of the B-10s
Great look Jan and well done to Nat on the jumper, it looks brilliant (from what we can see)!

Reminds me of Aerial Star, I tried one of their A-2s, nice 'generic' jackets.
Now with Five Star, Get an A-2, but with angled handwarmer pockets like a B-15 and a mouton collar. Make a great 'retro' type jacket.

An updated (downdated i.e. older ??) version of the classic Norfolk hacking jacket ?? Looks great for hacking about the fieldswith the canine chum.
glad it was warm enough for you to be out of sheepskin for a while
Cheers !

Chris,
I hope you took off the manufacturer tag in the meantime?!
Sorry, couldn't resist....
I have seen some of your Fivestar stuff over at @Shawn Ali 's FB Group, and it seems that you belong to the circle of jacket enthusiasts, whose measurements don't fit into the standard sizing charts, too.
Great, that we have more choices now! FS and you collaborated on some great looking jackets!

So friends, I just paid for my bronson ma-1 and now I am waiting for delivery, it is worth noting that the feedback from these guys was on top, they answered all my questions without problems and without delay, by the way, they also reported that until the fall, 44 sizes are not expected at all and I had to buy my bronson not on the official website but on ebay..Thanks.

ELC Monarch has been put away. Time for the BR Aero to get some daily love. No beard to get caught in the collar hooks...

Spot on. That's one of three jackets (in fact that one is part of a suit) that I had copied from original 19th century examples either in my collection or belonging to a friend in his 80's who's great grandfather was a head horseman locally, or examples in other collections and museums. They are typical of what was essentially a short frock coat as worn by gamekeepers, shooting folk ...in fact you name it really.

I’m very glad that FiveStar is so willing to make a custom jacket. I’ve contacted all the big 3 (GW, ELC, Platon) and no one would do my size.
I’m planning to get an A-2 next, I just have to decide between the Dubow, United Sheeplined or wait for the new star sportswear. It’s my understanding a new, more accurate seal horsehide leather is being developed just for the star jacket.
Yes, I’ve removed the tag haha. I took that picture right after I put it on, upon delivery.
