    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Hey Jin, based on the cowhide sample vs your actual coat in goat, what do you think? Which leather would you pick? And just overall, you think "good for the money" or "just plain good"

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    heard back from Shawn on a couple things. The premium goat is avail as Chrome or Veg tanned. The Veg tanned is 1.1mm, the Chrome is 1.2-1.3mm. I saw this photo on the FB page and asked him which leather it was as it looks like it's breaking in nice. And he confirmed Premium Goat Chrome. He...

    FS: 2 Large Slim Fitting All Saints Leather Jackets

    Hi there. I went way overboard during the COVID sales and just overbought. Not to mention, I just didn't know what I wanted. I've got a couple All Saints sheep leather jackets. They're definitely more "fashion" style, slim fitting, etc. than most of the higher end stuff that gets posted...

    thanks for info. Someone referenced a picture of your jacket on page 3. So glad you confirmed it's premium steerhide. the plot thickens. Looks like we have positive votes for buffalo, premium steerhide (Seal) and premium goat (Seal). How thick/tough you think that steerhide is? You...

    amazing. but you nailed that fit. you got a few inches on me, so I'm going to copy your measurements and shave off a little bit here and there. But I'm really getting close to pulling the trigger on this. I'll call it the "Mr. Proper" spec LOL. I think I just need a few more examples of the...

    Hey Carrie. I posted these on another thread. But since you're lurking here, I'll post a couple more. Got my Sheene Brown CXL FQHH last night and the break in has begun.

    Aero back length measurements?

    funny enough, I went through this last night with Carrie. Got a new stock jacket and felt a tad small. First thing I did was measure and I was coming up .25 to .5 short on the ptp and shoulder of what they said. She quickly replied and said they basically pull the leather tight and measure...

    fantastic. do you mind posting a few photos when you get a chance and let me know measurements. I think we're pretty close in size.

    Is that the premium goat or buffalo?

    Blowdryer + conditioner on Lost Worlds leather (before, during, after)

    I wonder if you took that last shot in the sun if it would pop more. Those first pictures are amazing, but the last is dulled for sure. In any case, you softened which is nice. And not eveyone necessarily wants a shiny jacket.

    thanks for your thoughts. Seems like the consensus so far at least is premium Seal goat. And looks like buffalo is in the running too. Which of your jackets had the premium goat? Was it the Amelia Earhart one? I'm looking at that as I like the collar style better than the A2.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    well these forums claim another person's wallet. Didn't take long exchanging a few emails with Carrie for a stock Aero Sheene (Brown CXL FQHH with contrast stitching, which matches my Stetson Gallatin hat didn't notice until I posted the pic) to magically appear on the website. Fits like a...

    So Shawn mentioned HH still on back order from Brazil. Covid delays. But he does have buffalo. I can ask about the colors, but looking at the jackets on the website, only seems to be in distressed. I'm leaning towards buffalo, but I'm going to wait to see how some of the premium goat jackets...

    Aero Highwayman fit pic and 1st post

    most conditioners are going to darken per se, especially brown shades. In reality, the leather is drying and fading, so you're "restoring" it back to it's original color, kind of. So it's sort of an optical illusion, but there's no doubt some darkening, especially if using an oil like coconut...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    great looking jackets this page. wow. I've got a bunch of Schotts and they all fit really well off the shelf. I just had to learn to size down. The only area I kind of wish was snugger is the upper arm on some of the models. I'm hoping with some more wear, they won't poof out as much and...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Continued thanks. I'm definitely leaning towards the premium goat, most likely Seal for an A2. Still trying to figure out all the differences in the Werber, Bronco, etc. models. Looks like small changes to pocket shape and maybe the Bronco doesn't have the buttons for the collar? Their...

    d'oh. I also heard from Hats Direct that The Boss was going to get pulled. Not sure if just from their store or across the board.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    many thanks, everyone. Yeah, I reached out late last night and already have a response. It's hard to tell from their photos of the leather (true color, texture, feel, etc.). I've seen some of the facebook photos of actual jackets with outdoor light and definitely agree the Seal seems to be...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    thanks for the info. Yeah, at 6'0 185 lbs, I seem to be coming up as a small on a lot of jackets so it's throwing me off. The suitable for chest vs chest size is throwing me off, because then that doesn't correspond to waist or sleeves. So on paper looks like I'm going to get a perfect chest...

    let me double check my measurements, but pretty damn close I think. What kind of leather is it? edit. I double checked. Pit is a little short. Don't want to chance it. I too have a closet full of jackets. Good luck
