    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This is my design diagram as submitted to Shawn. And here is a example of a collar I like. Trying for this.

    You mean this part of the collar, correct?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks for this. That’s what’s been bothering me. It’s missing something but couldn’t put my finger on it. I used the following as my example, but the pattern looks a bit smaller. I provided the measurements but I was taking a stab.

    So collar is big enough Tony?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Want to tap into the wisdom of crowds here. Here is a piece of my pattern that Shawn’s created for me. The most difficult part for me was the collar and I could only estimate dimensions as I didn’t have a jacket with a collar such as this. I’m wanting the collar to have a Maxwell look and...

    Aero 50’s midnight blue ass kicker Halfbelt

    Thanks Tony, measurements are pretty much what I submitted to Shawn @5* for my jacket. Makes me confident.

    Aero 50’s midnight blue ass kicker Halfbelt

    Tony, awesome jacket and fit. That leather is superb! Well done. I am curious on the p2p as the jacket's tagged a 40, and you are what, a 42-44 typically? Mind sharing a measurement or two? We are pretty close to the same size so just wondering how this jacket measured up,

    Marc New York Cafe Racer - Brown L

    I have three of this brand's jackets. Bought years ago at a mens wear shop where I had my suits and dress jackets made to measure. Unfortunately I paid much more than mall jacket prices. They are very well put together. This is a great price.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    This is an extremely helpful post, and explains why my first "serious" leather jacket purchase way back in '82, that I still own, now looks like it was meant to fit my Dad. I am wondering if the arm hole sizing follows the same pattern as the p2p, i.e. tighter dimensions when the p2p is tighter...

    100% agree, these discussions are educational, at least for me. I’ve learned a lot. I had feedback on my jacket design a few weeks ago that were very helpful, and without that feedback, I would have made mistakes. Cheerleading makes one feel good, constructive feedback moves one forward.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Shawn send me the pattern for my Maxwell/Hektor mashup half belt button up this morning. Based on the pattern, and our convo back and forth, it looks like he nailed it. Had a bit of a scare when each panel had XL marked on it, but he confirmed my measurements are XL in 5* world. I am a 42/44 so...

    Thanks fellas, I might be ok. I won't ask Shawn to change it, yet. I'll wait till I see the pattern.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Fellow 5* custom owners I have a question regarding measurements. When measuring arm hole, is it standard procedure to measure around the arm hole, or straight across. I am having anxiety whether my submitted measure of 10.5" is too tight. I am trying to tighten up the arm hole from my Vanson I...

    Been meaning to ask for a while, who's belt is that? Had one in my teens and have always wanted another.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Based on someone's advice here, I have requested Shawn send me pics of the design first, then the jacket. I do wonder however how receptive he is to changes prior to shipping the final product as I am concerned about a detail I'm still not sure he understands. We've gone back and forth on it...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Maybe I missed it in the thread but is that deerskin? I don't see anything wrong with that design...the only thing I would have changed, if it was for me, is contrasting thread, which of course is a personal choice. It looks great! Shawn needs a professional photographer however. I am nervous...

    Aero Teamster questions

    I’ve got the Aero Shackleton vest, which has the leather buttons and I wear it a lot. It was difficult at first but soon loosened up. I button it all the time and use 2-3 buttons each time. I have a half belt on order and I chose buttons. I do wish I ordered my Shackleton with horn or corozo...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I submitted my final design, and payment, on Jan 13th. Shawn told me on Thursday the pattern will be complete this coming week, and the jacket shortly thereafter. He said "normal" patterns take 2-3 days to create. "Special" patterns like mine are 4-7 days. So if all works out accordingly I'd...

    Shawn told me last week HH was an option if I could wait a month, which is 3 weeks now. He also told me its a light weight, up to 1mm. I passed on it.
