Granted, I'm less experienced with jackets than many here, but.....I would not ever guess that jacket was made by someone other than the high end mfg that get so much love on this forum. It really looks top quality in construction and of course, your leather is excellent as well. Well done, all...
Got it. Out of curiosity, how much leather did you buy and send to Shawn, in order to be able to construct this jacket and what weight/thickness? Thanks
That's really nice. Not as nice as your cordovan hh jacket lol, but still very nice. I would be interested in knowing the cost breakdown for this one given you sourced the hide and sent it to Shawn. If you should feel comfortable telling, that is. Thank you.
Carolina 902 in black leather.
Found on clearance at Rust's Western Shed in the central part of the US. I have read that Carolina has stopped making these... Too bad, if true. These seem like a great pair of boots.
I'm not really a leather trucker fan but i must say that jacket is very flattering on her. You got a good job done and I'm very impressed with the way it came out. Your button work makes all the difference.
Thanks! The gussets work fine and i have great mobility in the jacket. I like the slightly more relaxed fit of this one vs. my first 5star.
@ton312 perhaps we got the same goatskin for.our jackets? I find !ine squeak free so far and a more matte finish as well. Your jacket looks great!! I...
This jacket is a looser fit from my first Sheene-like jacket. This was by design and it is allowing for layering and is generally a warmer and more comfortable jacket. I like the goat; according to Shawn, it's drum dyed.
Here are a few more pics.
I would love to have a crosszip but... I just don't feel comfortable with that style all tricked out with studs, zippers, etc.
I need a crosszip that is low-key in comparison to the standard MC jacket.
I wish 5* would make a new section on their website exclusively for all of the new designs being introduced this year and going forward. It's a bummer trying to search them out amongst all of the other stuff. Oh well, gotta dream big! LOL
Looking good, @ton312
@MrProper thank you for posting the new labels. I think they look great. Now, if 5* could actually get some good quality HH in stock
First, you are off loading 5* jackets? Which one(s) did you keep?
Second, DHL seems to be a bit behind in updating tracking as well. Hoping for a pre-Christmas delivery but ok if it's doesn't happen.
Yeah, the chain hanger seems like a cool addition that I have seen on other jackets. Hopefully, it will hold up over time just as well or better than leather hanger.
edit: Yes, I will at times use the hanger.
I had been talking to Shawn awhile back that the tag could benefit from some...
