Hey guys
Just received a jacket which i really believe to be a durable one star, regarding measurements i think it is a size 42
I spent almost 3 hours cleaning it, still i need to do the lining
Some pictures :
Was that a durable one star ?

Here are my results with pecard, not the best picture quality but hopefully you will see the before / after
Jacket is a naked cowhide Schott 565
I also did my JD1 and the leather now feels much more supple and looks better
Left side done not dried yet :
Both sides done, still "wet" ...
I didn't do any before/after pictures but i think i can find before pictures of one i got on ebay, i'll upload pics tomorrow
Shiny it depends, on a eastman b3 it did a very nice job and it was indeed shinier but on a 174sm the leather felt more alive but not shiny
I think it just makes the...
I did and so far it is the best product i have ever used, it brought back to life a few jackets and a leather bag
Maybe there are better products but this one is really good
Yeah FJ have pretty decent fees i believe but even if it was more expensive that would be ok for me, they offer great services and they always pack items very well, last time they even found a smaller box to pack my items so i paid 150e of shipping instead of 250
But yeah i'm gonna try buyee for...
Thx for the feedback now i'm feeling more confident trying it
I'm usually using fromjapan that i trust 100% but buyee offer some services that FJ don't
Pretty nice jacket :p
About buyee, are you using often? If yes are you happy with it? No abusive fees?
The other day i was thinking about trying it but feedbacks on trustpilot were pretty bad so i did not
Yeah a bit disapointed but it is pretty nice overall
I don't own the 90th or the Michael, i like them both so if i can find them for a decent price i'll probably pull the trigger
Almost correct :cool: Rosie was made for the 100th anniversary, i'll add a picture of the incredible red lining
They all are very nice jackets
This one is the 90th :
This one is the Michael :
Just received this baby, i was a bit surprised when i opened the packet cause the jacket is lightweight, i was expecting something thicker, but still it is a nice one
I now own 5 "one star", i think i'm sick
Hello, nice jacket but i agree that it is a bit too short, how much did you pay?
And where is this artisan located? I'm also french and could be interested to use his services depending on where he is based
Hey, found this, seems vintage but no idea what it is, conmar zipper which need replacement, i like it but guy asking 1000e :eek:
It looks like a AMC sportswear from the Rin Tanaka book
Any thoughts?
Hello,
I'm looking for a grizzly jacket in size 38/40, any brand as long as i like it
I would like something not too hard to wear, not too flashy, i like black leather/black fur but i'm open
If i can't find one i'll probably buy new from aero
Thanks :p
