Lookin sharp. Pulling off the G-1!!I decided to take a G-1 with me when I start trucking again next week, and I found this Star Sportswear model on eBay in extremely good condition for a cheap price
I honestly couldn't be happier with this 1975 jacket (also the year I was born). Yes it's cowhide but that doesn't bother me. It will still be durable, wind breaking and water resistant. What surprised me is the mouton collar - from the photos I thought for sure it would be synthetic, but it certainly feels real (whatever it is, it's very comfortable and in great shape).
The fit is great and I believe I can beat this jacket to hell for a good long time.
My days of fashion are just about over. I am switched over to practical mode now - durable, replaceable, dependable, comfortable: those are the primary criteria for my wardrobe moving forward. I believe this jacket ticks those boxes.
