I'm also very thankful for finding this forum and being able to be a part of it. I also apologize for all the stupid/rude/emotional things I already said and in advance for the ones that I will most likely say in the future.
Thank you! Completely custom model/pattern based on various photos I sent them from different models I've seen online. And specified all measurements in terms of fit. Turned out slightly off in a few areas but quite ok in general. Now available as a stock model on their website, very cheap too.
What Jacket Are You Wearing Today? The only one (leather) that I currently have as I got rid of all my mall jackets as a part of my quest for "proper" leather jacket(s).
Buttoned half-belt in black waxed goatskin from 5* after about a month of almost daily wear.
Whiskey might be a bit too light for what I'm looking for. Brandy might be a bit too red, not so much brown. Looks cool though, I agree.
Maybe it is time someone (me) got the distressed couch leather so that everyone could see how it actually looks like in real life.
Whiskey...
@Harris HTM
Might be wise yeah.
Although most leather I see on the 5* website don't impress me at all.
What would you consider "proven hides"? I already have one in the premium black goat, want to try something different if I end up ordering again.
Both the distressed buffalo (basically...
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but do you guys think this is worth picking up?

Seems like it might fit me, but after reading about how horrible the LC jackets are I think it might be...

Looks cool, price is good, seems like the measurements might be ok for me.
Just can't find any info on this model LC2142.

Has anyone ever had a jacket made out of any of these leathers?
Thinking I would go for one of these if I go for another 5*:

Looks awesome! How long have you had the jacket? CXL steer? Now they charge 200gbp extra for this leather, mainly because they are discontinuing it I heard. Received a sample of it - blown away even by the sample. So awesome to see it on a well worn jacket!
@Marc mndt
Yup, his FB/IG pictures are even more sketchy than his communication.
What seems strange to me is that he also sells various known maker jackets and Vanson lists him as a retailer/dealer.
Hard to believe that Vanson would deal with anyone who would be pushing aliexpress copies as his...
Yeah I talked to them already. Of course they don't have anything my size - doesn't make sense for resellers/dealers to stock such small sizes. They are also very reluctant to order anything my size for me. Would not accept returns even if they did order it for me.
On a related note : found...
I found a list of European dealers on Vanson website, but, as expected, it's not up to date.
Received a funny response from one of the dealers mentioned in that list:
"Sorry we stopped our collaboration with them 10 years ago
Their website is not updated"
I've been thinking about trying to get an Vanson every since I joined this forum. Just heard way too many good things about them. Does anyone know whether there is any possibility to buy them in Europe? Not talking about buying used, but rather some resellers. Contacted Vanson directly with this...
If you're asking people for an opinion on the fit then at least make the minimum effort of actually providing good quality pictures from varied angles.
@jacketjunkie Yes, I guess I misinterpreted honest constructive criticism as simply bashing on my chosen maker and model. My bad, no doubt you veterans are in the right. I'll try to keep this thread (and other threads) clean of my foolishness.
In terms of your suggested regarding Schott 618 -...
@Aloysius I'm not angry, I appreciate constructive feedback. Haven't heard any from you yet. But It's fine, I've had my share of people like you. Like I said, reflective of the real world. Prevents this from becoming a pleasant echo chamber.
@Marc mndt @Aloysius
Yes, very nice to have "make my eyes bleed" and "hideous" thrown at the something I'm planning to order. Thank you for your constructive feedback. On the positive side it makes the forum more reflective of the real world where people throw their opinions at you whether you...
@TG3
The "Pacific" is just a one of Simmons Bilt models. The one that I'm planning to order to be more specific.

Canuck Panda mentioned me because it is quite similar to your lovely FL jacket.
If I can get a similar look and fit - I'll be a very happy...
