Hi. I sold it a few years ago. I conditioned the jacket regretfully...it darkened the sleeves. Should have left it alone.

Nice Jacket, Great look.

Good to hang on to the originals, hard to find. They can always be repaired. I have a Star G-1, it's been a 'lucky' Jacket in my collection...still trying to find a good zipper for it. someone used a HEAVY gauge YKK and it kind of scuffed up the hide because it was sewn in too tight. Used to...

Did you save the original knits?

'Tis but a scratch!

Nice Jacket! I had This cooper A-2, and had the same problem riding a bike with it. Try an MA-1 Jacket, or the N2-B if you want a flight jacket for bike riding. A-2's are pretty good for driving though.

Might better go with a size 'Large' to be safe unless I hear different. The medium looks like it could prove to be on the smaller side for me according to their size chart against my measurements. Hard to say. I'll wait and see what I hear back from 5* to be sure I'm on the right track with my...

Thanks for the reply! It's a good thought. I've sent them my actual chest and shoulder measurement. Does 5* charge an extra for every customized measurement? ...I'm alright with ordering a standard stock size in this case. I don't want to alter the originality of the pattern if it's a...

Been waiting for a reply from Five star leather about the sizing on the Werber Sportswear D-1 Jacket. Thinking I'd have to get a size 'Large' but not %100 on that yet...Jacket sizes can be tricky. Their medium fit is a 40-42, the Large being 42-44. My actual chest measure is 42"...

Does anyone here have experience with the sizing on the Five star 'Werber sportswear' D-1 Jacket? A few people so far said the Medium size fits more like a Large?

I duno, some places will charge extra for that 'timeworn' look, you know? Just adds character to the jackets if you ask me.

Wow, Looks like a good fit! Get a pair of A-10 gloves and a silk scarf to match!

Just get a repro to wear.

Let's see some 'before' photos! I give stuff that's 'caked' in mud a good brush with like a shoe shine brush (That has not been used with any shoe polish or anything) and then give it a brush with some leather oil stuff and that does it pretty good...I'll generally avoid deep cleaning or...

Would have guessed Mid 70's Just by the tag itself. That's a beauty Jacket!!
