The pocket flap is the best shot I could get of the dark coloring. The little blemish is darkening up nicely too.- Fadetoblack88

SM Wholesale A-2: 9 month review.
The knits are holding up very well. No pilling at all and they're a seamless construction. The lining is is a nice sturdy cotton and also holding up. All in all I would say its a very sturdy jacket. The stitching is spot on too.- Fadetoblack88

SM Wholesale A-2: 9 month review.
I've had my russet steerhide A-2 for about 9 months now, and I thought I would post an update and pictures of it for anyone curious about the SMW A-2. Its only been cold enough to wear it for about 6 months here, but I practically lived in it during this time. It started out a little lighter...- Fadetoblack88

My new A2 Custom Five Star Leather
I emailed Shawn about some particulars of the jacket I'm going to order and get this, the customization doesn't stop with the usual stuff I.e. knit color, seal/russet etc. He said he can do a hide in veg tanned semi aniline dyed just for my jacket, like what the goodwear websight sAus their...- Fadetoblack88

Did the jacket develop any wear/patina or does the leather still look new?- Fadetoblack88

My new A2 Custom Five Star Leather
I've been thinking about asking him make an an-j-3. If my A-2 is as nice as I think it will be I won't hesitate to inquire. Not many companies offer that jacket.- Fadetoblack88

I agree. I owned one of each for about 10 minutes. The jacket came out of the box, tried it on, said no way, and put it right back in the box to whence it came from.- Fadetoblack88

My new A2 Custom Five Star Leather
Leather samples are a good idea. Last I spoke with him he said he will have horse hide available in a few weeks. I'm keen to see what that's like. But the goat looks good too, from the pics posted here in other threads.- Fadetoblack88

My new A2 Custom Five Star Leather
I was concerned about that, yes. I don't want to purchase any illegal items. But after corresponding with Shawn and reading the VLJ thread I feel comfortable with buying one. While I would love to get one from AVI or an ELC or Goodwear for that matter, they don't make them in my size. I've...- Fadetoblack88

My new A2 Custom Five Star Leather
I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a quick question. What zipper and nomenclature tag came with that A-2? I've been corresponding with FS and that's the one question I didn't get answered. The picture (was fuzzy)seemed to show a talon zip and bronco nomenclature tag but I wanted to verify that...- Fadetoblack88
