    5 Star Californian/Campus Halfbelt red russet goat!

    I'm thinking about a black CR style as well, with brass zips. I'm interested to see what you get. Please post pics.

    5* Shearling, mix of D-1, B-3, Trucker

    I like this jacket quite a bit. I typically don't care for the WWII style shearlings with the huge collars as they almost always seem so large and overpowering on nearly everyone who tries to wear them. Those jackets were designed for a vastly different purpose than people now are using them. On...

    5* 1950’s All Weather Half belt repro seal brown goat

    Interesting that they sent you samples of Horse Hide. I have emailed Shawn three times in the past couple months about availability of HH and he kept saying out of stock. Just last week, he told me it would be a year before he could source Horse Hide. I don't get why he'd send samples of...

    Thedi jacket: anyone have this one or more pics?

    Thedi jacket: anyone have this one or more pics?

    As the title states, I'm looking for more info and pics of this jacket. The Thedi website is very sparse. Any help much appreciated!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That really is the most remarkable jacket. There is nothing about it that I don't love. Wear it in good health.

    5* 1950’s All Weather Half belt repro seal brown goat

    Interesting. I've asked him a couple of times about horsehide. He says unavailable but will let me know if any comes in.....maybe not enough demand.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @Seb Lucas Thanks for the information. Was the goat that yours was made from the "premium" goat?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Anyone have one? How is it holding up? Any caveats or things you wish you'd done differently when ordering? I have recently ordered and received a Sheene type jacket from 5*, in steerhide. I like the jacket a lot and I learned a few things about how my measurements need to change a bit for the...

    Quality, leather briefcases & luggage

    Bump to see what people might be carrying these days. I have been toying with the idea of getting a nice weekender bag...a little off-put by the weight of them....but realizing that one must tolerate the heft of these bags, if one wants something higher quality for the long haul. Any updates or...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Cafe racer is a bit snug. However, the PHWM looks great. I'd keep that one for sure.

    Aero Sheene Fit

    Hi. I'm not very knowledgeable about these treatments. Are you saying that the leather oil you used caused the jacket sleeves to shrink up some? Or just that the way the jacket confirms to you improved by maybe softening up the leather? Just curious.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Congratulations! That looks great. Looking forward to more pics and weight, too, please. One great thing about 5* is that Shawn is putting these new designs on the website. We dont have to reinvent the wheel if we see something we like

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That's really a bummer that you got a jacket with several flaws that were noticeable to this degree. I mean, many people may not ever notice these things (probably never amongst all the people you might encounter day to day) but for those who care more, such as TFL people, it stinks. I have...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Looks very good! I like the contrasting stitching as well. I would possibly have the sleeves just a bit longer as you say, but it doesn't look bad at all. Well done!

    Swap Meet Score!

    I'm curious as to the regimen one uses to rehydrate an old jacket like this. What product(s) are typically used? Thanks

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    While not a legit vintage jacket, the one that I recently had them make is now on the webpage. I feel like it would be even better if Fivestar would create a separate page for all these "new" patterns to make them easy to find for people looking for other than repro jackets. (Shawn, if you are...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I will be the first to admit that I lack the depth of knowledge of many on this forum regarding high end leather and jackets. However, that being said, the jacket that I received from Fivestar recently feels and looks really nice. Everything was done as I requested and the ordering process was...
