    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Anything new to your order aside from a trimmer look? Keeping with the deerskin? I know it was warm but I wanted to test it out. I walked for a mile and was fine, the silk rayon was comfy.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I haven't yet looked up railcar but that might be a good idea. Are they true to size? The black indigo 19oz jeans look great

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Got it. I've been weary of vintage jackets but seeing all these nice looking cafe racers really got me thinking! Thanks for sharing the info about the belt, never knew you could get a leather blank. Does it involve stitching around the buckle? Super cool buckle, that's the nicest one I've seen.

    Field Leathers

    Welcome to the lounge! I think going for a FL jacket in shinki is a great start. It's a great investment having a nice leather jacket, it will never go out of style especially if you go with a clean classic design in black/brown. It doesn't matter what design you want in the end as Greg will...

    Shangri—La Heritage

    Thanks brotha! It looks so much better after I broke it in, cxl can be challenging to break in but it's worth it. I believe that's a given that they should charge you no fee since they will only taper the fit a little for a slimmer look. Same goes when you do made to order from other makers...

    FL jacket again. I've been unlucky with bravestar (still haven't found the right size/fit) but lucked out with indigo selvage denim from S&S

    Thanks @Will Zach! Definitely one of my favorites to wear with how the leather looks and how the jacket itself fits.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks man, definitely the trimmest jacket I have. Just enough for a shirt. I think this will pass for what I wanted it for, a spring/summer jacket. I hope the weather is just cool enough for jacket weather!

    Shangri—La Heritage

    Alright good on you. Reading up will save you a lot of grief and money down the line with this hobby. I took it to JL of SF and had to pay $180 to trim down the 1st jacket. The 2nd jacket is good ol' brown cxl horsehide. i didn't have to pay to trim it down since the jacket was made by...

    That's a sweet collar, I love me some shearling collars too. I'm sure they'll make the appropriate adjustments. Maybe ask them what they recommend for your waist/bottom hem measurements so you can be sure you are getting to the fit you want. Yes you can have it altered for a fitted look. I've...

    Shangri—La Heritage

    I believe too much time has elapsed even for the monitors to do that for you. Maybe start a new thread and make your first review of your jacket? I know @Robbie79 will soon have a trucker made by them so he can maybe chime in

    I was writing this up word for word but accidentally hit post reply too early but nevermind since you so eloquently summed up what I wanted to express lol

    Shangri—La Heritage

    It does make it more interesting that way, that should look even better with wear. im sure you can request to the maker how you prefer your hide to be whether it's uniform or uneven shade of color, for the hide to be smooth or grainy or mixed smooth/grainy. so let them know how you want your...

    Shangri—La Heritage

    Only saw this just now! The leather looks fantastic here, very rustic feels! The fit in the chest/shoulder looks great like you mentioned. You can probably take a total of 2-2.5" off of the waist/hip. How wide is the measurement across the middle of the hand pockets and the bottom hem? I think...

    What To Expect From Horsehide (Appearance, Color, Handfeel, etc.)

    different finishes for different applications. it depends what the manufacturer is wanting for a specific jacket pattern build. horse hide comes in different weights and it can be tanned with various techniques so not one is the same from another even though they are processed in the same...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I think it's a great addition to any wardrobe! It's just nice to have a leather trucker. I actually want a brown and blue leather trucker later on lol I know what you mean, I have 5 denim truckers of different shades that have been sidelined from being worn lol the only time I'll wear them is...
