    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @ton312 I see it that way too, especially the dimensions of the applications. They look balanced on the jacket pictured, nice design. Nevertheless, I would forward the following measurements from a jacket that fits you, any way (it takes a little time to measure a jacket thoroughly, but in the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @ton312 For me, that would be at least the other dimensions (marked in red) that I would pass on to 5*. But of course you have enough experience with orders from 5*, so just a little tip from me ;)

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @ton312 I would give 5* much more requested measurement infos adapted to your desired type of jacket, as stated in my post earlier in this thread. Btw: I forgot e.g. to define the exact height of the Breast Zipper because I relied on the photos on the homepage. Lo and behold, there were also...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I really like their Steerhide, I opted for the waxed finish (a bit more shiny but no ironing, only available for goat). It has a nice texture an pebble grain also consisting in thickness all the way through.

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Seems a japanese version of Nelco called Welco, LOL! I have never heard the name of this manufacturer before, apologies for the careless and unquestioning adoption of the Japanese translation. I corrected it in my post, thank you for pointing that out @ton312.

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    You can also fold the collar in the way you like and then work the fold with a hammer. But don't hit the leather directly but place a piece of light cardboard or something similar in between... many folds are shaped by the manufacturers with a hammer before they are sewn.
