    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah, at the end of the day clothes need to look and feel good. I briefly dabbled into denim and man now I won't buy jeans without stretch. What good is armor of you can't move?

    What about the wax? Just want to see if there's any sort of residue. And keep us posted if he's able to skive it down to more human levels, lol.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah, but it could also be a gift and a curse. Many makers make suggestions on what they feel may be better, but then it doesn't actually translate, and then they need own it, while others like 5* will make it as you ordered it and then fill in the blanks as necessary. I ran into this getting...

    It takes a certain type of man to get a beautiful new jacket, and then take a sledgehammer to it. Good work sir. Any concerns of bleeding or anything like that if one were to just wear it say in the rain and then hop onto a car cloth seat?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yup, that's what you said. Not sensitive at all, just pointing out you really go out of your way to talk about JL, which I find amusing, they must've really burned you for you to go out of your way to always bring them up. Anyway, don't want to derail this thread because Ton's new jacket is...

    That'd be sweet, I mean heck just skiving down Tony's leather would be fine as well. I think this is going to open up another Pandora's Box, but can anyone source some Shinki and send it to Shawn, I mean, since we're asking, lol.

    Rofl, the hate in you is strong. I love what 5* is doing, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here, all makers including 5* don't always get the fit right. You inherent the risk with 5*, and the low price reflects that, other makers inherent the risk, hence the higher price.

    Oh my sweet baby jesus, that's a mighty fine piece of leather, and it has a nice aroma? Skive that sucker down to 2oz which I'm sure he can do... man oh man... And you sure it's the jacket that's creaking and not your joints trying to cope with that beast? lol jk.

    My goodness that looks good, and I presume that the color is supposed to be brown and not burgundy correct? I was also under the impression that it was HH not steerhide, but who cares if it looks that good.

    The graining and sheen seems to be consistent, and the depth sorta translates too.

    The suspense is killing me. Yes, your upcoming jacket could be 5* leveling up, and hopefully of a great sign of things to come. It looks awesome in photos.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah, I'm figuring as much. The pictures of the HH and early CXL jackets aren't getting me to pull my wallet out and throw it at Sean just yet, this does seem to be very early in the beta stages. I've read that the wax runs, now the smell isn't there, but beyond that the graining and depth of...

    I also wonder about the permanence of the tanning since others have said the wax runs when it gets wet. Alas, looks like there is going to be some growing pains with the new CXL. My question to you is though, how does it smell?

    Jin hits another homerun! Seriously, might as well start a JL x Jin431 collab line, lol.

    I imagine that making a cloth for jacket vs leather, especially heavier leather, with thicker hides and liner, there has to be some compensation made.

    Oof, that's a nice piece of leather, my goodness. You're getting that jacket redone?
