    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Is the russet coloring pretty bad across the different types of leather? I know the goatskin russet looks awful

    Aero jackets worth it?

    Aeros really aren't that expensive compared to many leather jacket manufacturers

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'd say you'll probably get it as quickly as I got mine, here's hoping you do anyway! Mine made a few hops in Pakistan, then to Europe, and then straight to the US

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'd have to say like everything, it would depend on where you're at, but mine reached NYC in less than a week, and almost a full week before the quoted time on the DHL tracking

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Very interesting insight, would you recommend asking Shawn for higher armholes on a cossack? Or would I have to get more in depth than that?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Just modding his basic cossack design with a larger mouton shawl collar with a throat latch, pointed western yoke in the back, and snap buttons. Nothing too crazy. Probably looking at 2 weeks or less going by your experiences

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Anybody know what the turnaround time is for Five Star to make a pattern from a submitted PDF? I got an email from Shawn (or someone) letting me know the pattern department has been forwarded my design. The pattern is based on one of their existing jackets, so it's nothing outrageous. Its...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    From what I understand, minor changes like that shouldn't incur an additional charge. I think the type of leather used for the whole jacket, specifically horse, would. Others can answer this more definitively, I'm sure. For your second question, it sure wouldn't hurt. I talked to Shawn yesterday...

    Can a older men wear a motor( double rider) jacket As a fashion jacket?

    It's an article of clothing that's existed for 100 years, I wouldn't think twice if I saw an older guy wearing a biker jacket

    @Canuck Panda how's the quality of the metal snaps?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Nicely done! I really like it. I was envisioning it with hand warmer pockets and maybe a small pocket on the chest, perhaps in a contrasting colored leather

    The Background . . .

    My ramshackle Queens apartment only gets decent lighting in one room and my healthy sense of Southern shame prevents me from having a whole photoshoot outside

    Seriously, dude. Anyone considering a Five Star would do well to research that thread good and hard, because having a Five Star made is, ahem, idiosyncratic at best

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Does anyone know what this model is based on? Or is it just a general mashup of styles from the era?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Very true. I'm interested in how the quilted or wool lined Five Star jackets perform when they don't have mouton panels on the body blocking the wind and cold

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    fair enough, but my point still stands: the jacket works as outerwear

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    My Five Star has passed the functionality test this evening. It's in the low 20 degrees, howling winds, and it's been snowing and sleeting all day here in New York City. The goatskin grizzly performed admirably and was very comfortable outside. Probably more due to the thick mouton than the...

    Five Star goatskin grizzly jacket that I received earlier this week, first Five Star jacket I've had made and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    the stock measurements on the site for the cossacks are absolutely bizarre. The XS has a sleeve and body length measurement of 26 inches for example, which is insane to me
