How tall are you? Any smells, smoke exposure?

Hello I have a size 58 screen capped raiders in beaver with the turn, virtually new or a advintage beaver/rabbit blend last crusade style in great condition, also size 58. Let me know if interested!

Is this still available?

Is it actual shearling?

I went with the standard length. 24 inches a great length for a Indy jacket. I have longer ones and shorter ones from other makers. Unless you are really tall 24 would work good I think

I am five foot seven inches. My weight is about 155 lbs. I always ask them to make my sleeves 24 inches since I have short arm. I am a 38-39 inch chest, 32 inch waist.

Here some pics of finished goatskin u boat jacket five star made based on original

That sounds like a good plan to me. Send pictures of the actual jacket once it arrives

Got the buttons sewn on

I think the leather quality is great. It was a special tanned goatskin just for the purpose of matching the jacket. I am not a leather expert although I have owned many leather jackets over the years. I am very impressed with how this turned out. And they do have a variety of brown goatskin...

Here’s the new five star jacket compared to the original. I haven’t sewn buttoned on it yet, just got it

Got the prototype u boat jacket based on the original I sent in. They didn’t have the buttons I wanted so I will sew ones on myself. They tanned a new leather just for this jacket, I think it’s a great upgrade over their matte grey steerhide. This new leather is goat. Overall I am extremely...

Would love to see how it turns out for you however I think you’ll get just as good with five star leather as magnoli and both are made in Pakistan or India. Five star can do the correct vintage wool lining that the jackets were made with

I can understand that. For me it isn’t really about inaccuracies on the history bunker it’s more I don’t like the way it looks, and if was casually wearing that it would bother me. When they were making them during the war they got a lot of the details just perfect for whatever reason and that...

Would love to see the finished jacket if you get one :) My concerns about history bunker are circled in this picture. I think it is too long past the bottom pockets too, but if you like it go for it!
