    Yeah, it is strangely tubular now that you mention it

    True re: better leathers available from Five Star, wish they had a workable natural color though

    Oh dear, is that the infamous unbreakable belt leather I read about earlier? That's disappointing

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Eyeing one of the Five Star cossacks right now, namely this one, with the "cream" colored pull-up cowhide. Waiting to hear back if they still have this leather in stock or if its just another Five Star website fakeout.

    Yeah, I wasn't really sure what to expect with the goat as I've never handled goat leather before to my knowledge. But it's nice and thick, but very flexible. It doesn't fight you at all, but its still a very substantial hide. Also, it bears repeating that the conic color looks a million times...

    @Canuck Panda in your experience, does wearing the goatskin "shrink" the length of the sleeves, or is it too springy for that? I know the sleeves of my horsehide Aero have shortened up a tiny bit as they crease with wear, but horsehide is a whole different animal, quite literally

    I got my Five Star two days ago, ahead of the estimated delivery date. I’m very very pleased. The goatskin is like no other leather I’ve ever handled, and the conic color looks way better in person. Also the cotton drill and mouton are both thick and seemingly high quality. I was a bit worried...

    That's good to hear about using pictures. I was wondering about getting him to make a copy of one of those Vanson swedish motorcycle jackets since I have a collection of photos of one from pretty much every angle and every detail.

    Just got confirmation my jacket is in the mail, @ton312 hope you get the same today

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I went with the premium conic goat, made sure to specify that I wanted it thick. Before I found out about Five Star, I originally wanted to have this made as an Aero, but a $400 custom jacket is too hard to pass up. I had the sleeve and body length altered and the measurements of the jacket I...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Brand new Clarks weavers. So glad they reissued these

    Love that olive cotton lining, I requested that for my jacket also

    I like the sound of that. Hopefully I'll be able to get some wear in while the waning cold weather lasts

    What's the average turnaround time for a stock jacket from Five Star these days? I know it used to be a week or so, but I'd have to assume the team is a lot busier these days

    As far as I know, they aren't. No one has said anything to me at least. I just asked for the sleeve and body length to shortened slightly to fit more in line with other jackets I have

    Finally got everything confirmed with Shawn, looking forward to seeing the good work he and his team do. I just ordered a stock size and had the sleeve length and body length modified slightly, so nothing too crazy

    I hate to say it, but a picture of a bloodied hand is a hell of a lot better than the baffling communication I've been getting from them

    The Hunt for the Least Restrictive Leather Jacket

    This is really key. I have no use for a jacket that I can't layer a sweater under

    Question for Five Star owners: does everyone receive pictures of their jackets before they're shipped?
