What's your recent order from LW?
I have to get more pics of this hide up. Man it's thick!! I've been groping and inhaling it all night. Perhaps I should just start collecting sample cuts. This hide positively reeks of a moonshiner. Would be the coolest jacket on the planet, hands down, end of story, game over and other cliches...but seriously. It would.
Eastman Star Sportswear coming next week, have to own at least one A2
Congratulations!
This is my favorite jacket. The most beloved of the three A2s I own. And the longer I wear it, the more I love it.
That's mine. I would rather believe it's counterfeit
That Star is not a counterfeit. Rather, it is a seemingly thinner, but accurate A-2 weight leather Eastman uses. 2.5oz I think. This issue has been raised before; another member had the same reaction, wondering if he’d been ripped off as his jacket felt thinner than the thicker ones he’d owned. Not to worry. It’s intentional and the horse is strong.
My house a2 is 3.5 lbs, and this one is only a touch over 2lbs
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.
