    I have been ghosted by Shawn on a few occasions. Caveat emptor.

    Just like 5* HH, scars add character.

    Damn that's horrible. Glad you're starting to feel better. You're still jacked though.

    This actually sounds like a promising method. I'm going to try it. The forearms on my new HH HB fit like a condom. I've given he same sleeve measurements for other jackets including their HB and didn't have this problem. I'm having the button moved so I can get the jacket off but I'll still only...

    Is it possible to stretch the forearms on a 5* HH jacket? My new 30s HB fits like a glove but from the elbow down it fits like a tournequet.

    If you're talking about this HB it looks like it fits perfectly accross the shoulders:The pleat you're considering looks cool butI doubt it adds much comfort.

    I believe it's the same pattern as the 30s HB if not somewhat slimmer and higher armholes. The collar is not the same as the HB though, which I prefer. Instead of the pointy shirt style collar it has a more standard spread. It has a really flattering shape and falls/rolls nicely. The yoke is...

    Ha, I just ordered one of these in black steer and I already have one in seal steer that I love. Got them without chest pockets, though. And I am replacing the cheap chrome buckles on the seal one I have with brass. It has high arm holes and fits perfectly.

    What jacket do you have in the works?

    The Abbey options were really nice but they have a $25 minimum and that's like 14 buckles and I only need 2. Then considering shipping across the pond I figured I'd just get what I could on Amazon.

    Anyone know a source to replace the cheap chrome buckles on my 5*?

    You can ask to lower them.

    I think Shawn has upgraded the steer since then. I have it in black and seal and they are silent and lustrous.

    I have the steer already from recent batches and while it doesn't have as much character as some other options I think Shawn has gotten better hides for it. It's super thick and has grain irregularities and characteristics that I like. Thank you for adding a great design to the 5* catalog!

    Five Star Half Belts, includes Horween Horsehide

    This is tempting but I'm not trying to get divorced. My wife won't be happy if I get more jackets. Jackets are life!

    I have their cafe racer with bi-swing in black horsehide and it's fantastic. I only wish I had asked for their thickest hide as its pretty thin in some areas. The fit is incredible. It has very high arm holes.

    Any reason folks don't get it? Edit: I have one in steer on its way to me and I'm pumped.

    Why don't people on this forum opt for this design? I think the pockets and sleeves are cool but no one ever seems to got for this one.
