    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Just got my DHL notice. Eta of Friday, so based on what some of you telling me, could be here as soon as Monday. Excited. Really want to see the jacket, but also want to get a sense of the leather and the measurements I gave him. I've got a thorough walk through of a J100 I want him to do...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    I have similar thoughts on my stylemaster as well. I'm not enamored with it because of the lower crown. But no doubt I love the quality and you get a lot more than what you paid for. I've "graduated" to bigger things like Fed 4, Bushman, etc. so it just feels like a little kid now LOL. I...

    Leather choices ...

    Perfect timing on this thread. Was actually looking at the SB J100 yesterday but was "overwhelmed" by the leather choices. Just based on the photos and appx. thickness from the site, I kept gravitating to the Clayton. But the Lux looks nice too. Am I wrong, or is there no upcharge to the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    oh boy, if they start manufacturing all kinds of different jackets that we can design at a $150-250 price point, it's going to be fun around here.

    wow what a jacket. If I lived in cold weather climate, I'd be all over it. I just got a 2nd hand Aero B3 otherwise I still might have considered it. Has been 100 degrees in Los Angeles these past few days. If I buy this thing, my wife will divorce me. GLWS. Hope things turn around for you!

    What I’ve Learned Over The Years About This Hobby.

    So spot on. My wife thinks I'm absolutely bonkers as I proudly wore the Aero B3 that arrived in the mail yesterday while it was 102 degrees in Los Angeles. It's the little things in life that's for sure. The only thing I would add for the noobs to save them a lot of money and pain, and btw, I...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    my aero b3 came today and wow I love it. No doubt it won't get used as much as it deserves, but when I break it out, it will be glorious LOL. I do need to take in about 1.25 inches from each side for a better fit. I know the jacket is meant to be a bit bulky, but that will make a huge...

    Five Star 5* Trucker Jacket Fit Pics and comments on fit

    Given you have the buttons, I'd try a hot water wash, let it drip dry for a little while and finish in the dryer or hot sun. I've done this with a few jackets and can usually get a half size shrink. The problem is usually with the liner and/or zipper line getting warped. But with the buttons...

    Annual Schott Factory Sale

    For those in the NY/NJ area (or farther I guess if you're willing to make the pilgrimage). Heard there's killer deals but you have to hunt and deal with crowd. Maybe not a good idea with Covid, but maybe many will stay home making the process easier. Can give my size to anyone going if you...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    nah, no cold for me. It was one of those bucket item things. I'll wear it to walk the dogs at night. It'll get down into the 40s and 50s Dec-Feb. I can probably take like 15 or 20 minutes before I pass out LOL. I wanted a D1 or B6 because it's a little more fitted and the shearling I think...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    how much you think it'll be? I've got an aero b3 coming tomorrow and it's going to be 100 degrees all week here in Los Angeles. Dont know what the hell I was thinking LOL. Last thing I need is another shearling but I may go in for the fun of it. Hopefully my kids will end up going to...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I vote for the strip as well. There was a photo on What are you wearing today thread, I think it was yesterday. It was an orangey type jacket with curved opening and it had similar closures. Was going to post here for reference, but I think you participate in that thread as well, so didn't...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    is that the sheep leather they use for the D1 repro? They seem to have 2 models on the website. One looks black and more white fur and is cheaper price at $250 (I think). The other is more yellowish and probably longer hair for like almost $400. I'm curious of the quality of the one pictured...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    they should name them after the people who asked for the design LOL. Ton, did he figure out that arm opening measurement you want? I was waiting on that and some leather samples before putting in my next order. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Buco J100 style. The one on the website...

    Vanson leather in 2019 ?

    ah cool. looks more on the red side than I thought and what I could see from the vanson website. Yeah, I saw the classified one. Debating whether I want the "short" style from vanson or the longer Thurston Bros. version. Vanson is having 15% off right now and the classified seller is asking...

    Vanson leather in 2019 ?

    thinking about getting a comet in the Octagon brownish leather. Or might have one made by Thurston in the Dark Maple Bainbridge. Anyone have experience with the Octagon one?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Edit; Nevermind. Think you were asking which of the member styles are now on 5 Star. From what I gather, the sunburst, cafe racer, and a couple of the civilian half belt. their niche is military, A1, A2, Bombers, etc. But a few members have been giving them sample photos and mock ups and...
