Allstar 350n jacket

I am trying to purchase an Allstar 350n jacket (new) and the Allstar webpage store is out of my size. Are there any other US venders out there that carry Allstar? I'd like to get hold of one asap. Thanks

Allstar-USA is the exclusive vendor for Allstar gear in the US. So no, you won't get it anywhere else. However, there are lots of other good brands as well.

I know that some people on the forum have been recommending buying Allstar kit/equipment from Fechtsport-Langenkamp (in Germany).

I'm not sure if it's woth it for just one item of kit though (considering cost of shipping), just making a suggestion. Best of luck!

The important thing to note would be that Uhlmann stuff is identical, and is carried by a lot of vendors.

Except for the cut.

Yes, they're both identical, as they're made in China. FenceWithFun uses the manufacturer that produced Uhlman/AllStar gear for a number of years now, and is producing the same quality stuff. So there are now Uhlman triplets!

As for the cuts on the two being the same/different, I can't attest to that anymore. Pre-China Allstar/Uhlman, they were easily identifiable, just laying on the table, now their standards of quality control aren't top-tier, and more and more "miscuts" are making their way to the U.S.A.

In all honesty, agasint my own likes of gear, I can really only reccomend Leon Paul right now. Edit: Ask Craig here about the store, like or dislike LP stuff, Craig is cool by me. You can ask Alex, I'm not a big giant fan of LP stuff, outside of their uncrushable epee tips. FenceWithFun's jacket is on its way to me, so I can't rightfully recomend it without having abused it myself, and I can't attest to the current crop of Uhlman stuff.

Plus, isn't Allstar more expensive, just... 'cause? Anyone have the brand new stuff that wants to yap about it?
