FS Five Star Seal Horsehide Half Belt
It is a darker pigment over a lighter core, not struck through. As far as I know, only a few of the Fivestar leathers are struck through, and they are usually the black hides, I believe. If you look at the picture with the chest measurement on it, you can see the back side of the leather on...- Griemersma

FS Five Star Seal Horsehide Half Belt
Up for sale: Brand new Five Star Half Belt in Seal Horsehide. This is a great jacket, but I decided I would rather have one in a lighter color. The hide is a dark brown seal pigment over a russet core, as can be seen on the zipper pull. I think it has the potential to age beautifully. It has...- Griemersma

So-- I'm going to put my Seal HH Half Belt up on the classifieds, if anybody is interested. It's a great jacket, but I guess I'm just not a dark jacket guy. If it sells, I'm already planning my next Five Star in a lighter color....- Griemersma

Does anybody have any pictures of how the Five Star premium goat ages and wears over time? Someone posted awhile ago that the premium Seal goat wears to reddish and then tan. Are there any pictures that show how they look when the finish starts to wear?- Griemersma

Pretty sure it is pigment over russet core. It will probably look amazing in about 50 years :).- Griemersma

Five Star Leather Jackets
I don’t know guys… I REALLY like my new jacket— the style and the fit are spot-on. But… the seal is so dark. I might sell this one on and try again with a different hide. Idk yet. I’m having a Goldilocks moment. The pull up looks fantastic— but it’s maybe a little lighter than I’m...- Griemersma

Any more pictures or info on the one on the far right? Is that the russet HH? The mid-brown? It looks lighter and redder than the seal, and not distressed like the others in the picture.- Griemersma

I just got my "ready to ship" message and photos today too! I went the Seal HH route, but man, @ton312 the hide you chose looks fantastic! Is that the pull-up HH or the distressed? The Seal I ordered looks really dark-- almost black in the photos he sent me. Guess we'll see when it gets...- Griemersma

Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear
The Five Star thread is locked, so putting the question here: For those of you who have ordered from them recently, how long is it taking after you place the order for them to send the detail pictures? I heard from them and placed an order for a Seal HH HB a week ago and haven't heard anything...- Griemersma

I just looked him up-- really cool photographic work! The picture I posted was actually by Marjory Collins. It was taken in April of 1943. If you're looking for historical references for vintage leather jackets, the whole set is FULL of workers wearing a wide variety of them-- half belts...- Griemersma

True-- I'm just basing it on measurements from my vintage jacket and on Ton321's experience, since the jacket I plan to make is built from the same pattern block. @ton321 : I was looking at pictures on the Library of Congress website today and stumbled across this.
