And the fit is an issue with me. I am 6'5", 260lbs and athletic built. The jacket I got from Johnson Leathers I had two fittings before settling on everything. All my other jackets were given to me by similarly sized family. My LW order was messed up by Stu, but it fits my son who is 6'7" quite...
Thank you for the cliff notes. Definitely going to go through the 5* thread. It seemed so strange to me that they were so much cheaper than just about everybody else in OTR and custom leather jacket market. I have a couple of jackets by Taylor when they were made in the US. They've lasted for...
Yeah, I guess US based makers use US labor prices, but I have to admit the craftmanship is excellent and the leather used is top quality. I have not had a jacket made in Pakistan with Pakistani leather, but I've seen pictures and they all looked kinda plasticky.
The term they use for their...
First I apologize if my question is redundant, but I have seen on this forum members posting pictures with jackets by 5star leather. They don't look bad at all! I visited their site and I was very surprised at their prices. Their products are priced at least 1/6 less that anything by, say JL...
Thank you. I'm thinking of ordering a trucker and a car coat from JL. I like their work, the CXL HH, and the reasonable prices, as opposed to the, in my opinion, overpriced Lost Worlds.
Finally I got my new jacket from Johnson Leathers. Their customer service is great. I had two fittings before they made the actual jacket, and that took a bit over three months as I am on the East Coast.
Damon was very good making suggestions and listening. The jacket is CXL 4oz horsehide and I...
This is my first ever post to sell a jacket. It is a naked cowhide Schott pea coat size 50. It's basically new just broken in. Asking price $280. I'm not sure what the the next step is through this forum.
I started wearing leather jackets looong time ago just because my favorite band were in lather jackets. Then I realized I liked the feel and sense of "security" and self-confidence. And when I started riding motorcycles leather was a must. Now I wear leather whenever I have the chance, going to...
Carkos840, Thank you for the comparison. Love how your LW "ages".
I have only owned Taylor, police jackets, and Schott. I just acquired a LW test jacket which is great in every respect, except that the sizing was off and the jacket ended up a bit small for me. But luckily my son loves it as well...
