    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    It seems I'm beginning to understand why you returned it. My Star weight is 1.7 kg or 3.75 lbs for size 40. 2lbs - it is less than 0.9 kg....my goatskin AVI A2 weighs more. With your Star something really wrong ... it should not be so lightweight.

    This is strange. My Star was made in 2014. It is not thin. Normal HH, very beautiful, dense but flexible. Is it now something changed ...

    If only it's original patches (IMO), not from the movie, where they collected everything and placed on one:) IMO Top Gun movie I certainly looked when I was 20, a good movie despite all the inaccuracies ... romance :)

    Good Wear-abouts

    My message written here this morning mysteriously disappeared, although there was nothing reprehensible in it ... My friend waited 1.5 years after placing the deposit in GW and now he think about cancell order , 4 years of waiting is too long time for him. For me as well...
