Newly received FiveStars Monarch A-2... straight off-the-rack size 48 in "Pull-Up Horsehide" .

Being a fervent advocate for FiveStars' goatskin, this is my first attempt at their horsehide. Very soft and comfortable jacket!

More details to come...

@Wz1999 , are you doing the resto work yourself?
Where will you be obtaining the knit parts from?
Thanks

I wondered if a vljer got that rw. I threw a coupla bids at it, but it went higher than expected.. agreed that it looks to be a solid resto candidate. You might be able to stabilize the zipper tear with a small piece of book binders tape instead of replacing the whole tape. Though barely noticeable, the teeth on the m-39 talon are slightly smaller then those on the later talons.

I will have someone to restore it. I’ve got the brown knits and NOS Talon zipper from MASH Japan. But, I prefer the knits on my GW Doniger.

The RW 18091 always makes me think of signing in to a goatskin A-2 from John as well . Extremely cool look and fit Philippe! Were did you acquire the AVG shirt btw? This is equally stunning and makes a terrific combination
