    New style from Aero: Wilderness

    This is a great take on aero's construction. Can you pls share what's the plus side of having 2 piece sleeve vs 3?

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Got it, Ive been waiting a while too for my stf BL as well. That was my first choice leather but switched to tobacco badalasi. I should've kept with the blackened brown choice, could've prevented me from getting an black overdye from JL lol Hope we both get our orders from aero fulfilled soon.

    The sample of the premium goat they sent me is thicker than the cowhide. It's close, I don't have something to properly measure it but definitely goes to the goatskin. The goatskin feels denser, not a lot of stretch. The cowhide feels softer, more pliable but not weak. THe cowhide can be...

    Also for those who want to know how the sam It is difficult to make a judgment based on a little sample swatch of the cowhide but if the particular batch of cowhide was richer/darker and had more texture in the grain then that might do it for me. Don't get me wrong the jacket I have is...

    I'm sure it will take a longer production time if they are making a jacket they don't have a pattern of and have to do by eye, jonesys jacket I believe took a week to complete if I remember correctly. The sample I have does not have a lot of pull up. I scratched vigorously using the coin &...

    Got it, thanks. So it's 17mm buttons, would it make a difference if I go with a smaller 15mm button?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks I'll look that up, is this specific button fastener fixed or does it wobble like the stock five star hardware?

    Type 3 trucker jacket (seal brown premium goatskin). Beige cotton lining with satin sleeves, feels okay but there is more extra fabric than I would have liked. Measurements are good to my request. Hardware needs to be replaced, the button fasteners jiggle a lot. Anyone knows a good brand of...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks and will do. I went with cotton for the shell and satin sleeves, for a more fitted look. The first thing I noticed is it's incredibly squeaky when compared the the JL goatskin I have. Also I should have been more precise with ordering the 1.2mm goatskin as some panels feels thinner than...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Received early delivery (only took 5 days from Pakistan to Northern CA) of my premium seal brown goat trucker. I'll take better photos in the morning as it's too dark already. Packaging could be better but I guess it is $30 shipping from across the world so it's not a big deal.
