    Be careful, you might trigger someone with that talk. That sentiment is not welcome around here. You’re about to get an earful on how your jacket is garbage.

    Idk, I think some people here intend to attack. But hey, I’m a lowly noob, not an expert, so what right have I got to complain?

    If loving 5* is wrong I don’t want to be right! Enjoying my last 5* before graduating to Aero and, eventually, FL.

    Wow, this is a fantastic explanation/demonstration. Thank you!

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I've got to be honest and say that I don't see what's lacking in my 5* jackets. Like I don't see how your jacket accentuates masculinity but mine don't. That may be a function of ignorance on my part. Also, could it be that part of what's demonstrated above is the difference between the way a...

    That’s fair. I won’t be buying more in the future, but in the meantime I’m quite happy . I’d love to find something that fits me well like that jacket fits you. I haven’t had much luck at all with vintage. The sleeves are always too short or some other issue.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Here’s the thing. Even the most esteemed members of this group initially gushed about some of their 5* jackets. If that’s the case, how bad could they be? Comparing them with jackets that cost twice or three times as much is not a fair comparison, right? The people on this forum are the most...

    It’s totally subjective. I’m saying I’ve owned both and I am happier with my 5* because they feel just as good in terms of quality (I know people here will gasp) and they fit much better because they are custom.

    Would that explain why it went away when I rolled the leather?

    I apologize to anyone who may have been offended by my use of the word snob. There are no snobs here, only aficionados. Is everyone happy now?

    I don’t think anyone would be offended about being called a snob aka aficionado on a forum called the fedora lounge lol. It’s basically in the title. I also didn’t call anyone in particular a snob. No need to get your panties in a twist.

    I’m grateful to them as well, but I’m not going to prostrate myself before them. We are talking about jackets here. This deference is a bit silly and unbecoming. The cuff looks perfectly fine now after 30 seconds of rolling the leather. I don’t pretend to know as much as you and the others...

    There’s a lot of haters and jacket snobs on here who want to shit on 5* because they spend 3x the price for their jackets. That’s fine. But I am enjoying these just as much and think they look pretty damn good.

    So I rolled the leather between my thumb and index finger and the acne disappeared instantly. I don’t know much about leather and why it behaves the way it does, but if this ever happens to someone else you want to pinch and roll the leather out and it will disappear.

    I like having more than one jacket and am very happy with mine.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    So the acne is on 2”x2” of the jacket on the cuff in a location where the wearer will notice it but no one else is likely to. I’m sure it will go away once it dries completely. If it does then I will go back to being very happy with the jacket. If it doesn’t go away then I will no longer be...

    It’s always something. If the sleeves fit, the back is too long, or the body too wide. I can never seem to get all of the important measurements right.
