Making money with art is not an accomplishment at all , imo . We all have an inside world , the important thing is to keep it alive, all the passionate people I see here are full of life , like you : they live their passions and they can share their own with good spirit people full of respect. Beeing a bus driver is real nice job , you have to take care of the life of many. You drive them everyday , accompagning your passengers seeing them growing , maybe you know some ot them .

Now buses looks like space ships ! Beeing a bus driver is a great responsability. A good family friend was school bus driver in south of France in the 80's. every morning I got on his bus and sometimes he played one of my tape, it was often the Clash or an punk rock banb, those were the good times.

I don't know if I inaugurate something but ...Let's try ! after the Lifts pics , here is the Public Toilets . I went to an James Camero expo at "la Cinémathèque de Paris" this afternoon ( Really great !!!!!!! ) and suddenly my bladder remembered me . With an ELC / P44 pants .
The second pic is as you can see the battle damaged T800 schott ( Time battle worn ) and then an early draw from J Cameron at the age of 12 . And the last , the ELC sun at dusk . I know this pic sucks , but hard to get a good one on my own ! Apologises ... :p

and his employees
I thought I would notice a difference between this five star and my Bill Kelso, but to be honest I like this five star better, especially in terms of color and also the leather itself.
The color is of course brown, but there seems to be a very light chestnut color in it, which makes it look very warm in daylight.
very successful color in my eyes and can't wait to see what it will look like in a while.
All in all, I am very happy with another fantastic purchase that suits me very well.

It seems that 5star is getting more and more seirous in the game ? When you say that you prefer the 5* from the BK , the leather is more souple ? grain ? Now you got two 27752 !!! I wish the pics were taken in the sun !

I will see when the sun will break through here so that I can post some decent pictures, unfortunately it has been very foggy here for days... but don't worry, the pictures will definitely come hahahaha.
and I personally think this leather feels very nice, it is also slightly more flexible than my BK but exactly the same in thickness.
and of course the color, but that is different for everyone of course.
and the grain is more visible here on some parts..
I also see some light 'scars' which I hope will come into their own after some more wearing. I personally like to see that in a jacket, there should be minimal scars/blemishes.
In my opinion, that also gives it a bit more character

The more it will be worn the more you will enjoy it! Having a comparison side by side between the 2 27752 will be something nice too !

Maybe the tanning process is responsible of the soupleness , the "veterans" members could answer that. felt the same with my 5* Dubow 27798 HH veg tanned , the leather was allready very souple , too much perhaps ( my taste ) Then I tried the ELC seal brown house model totaly different , had to , as youi know condition it with Gt11 after a pass under the shower , and it's still quite rigid , but onxce again I like that feeling . It's get souple more and more every day . Ever time I store the jacket I fold it into a ball and put a heavy leather bag onto .

some cool stuff guys - yes 5 Star is really getting the A-2 thing down quite well. I think we have all seen some really great looking A-2's. Their RW's are like instant - "Hey, nice Rough Wear" so they are really getting some of the patterns down. I would work closely with Shawn still to make sure ALL of the details on your order are exactly as you want especially making sure you get all of the authentic aspects taken care of!
