    Best Type 1 Trucker Jackets in Suede, Denim and Wool?

    Hello All, I’ve been on a hunt for the perfect Type 1 Trucker Jacket. However I am looking for something special, specifically a classic cut one in Suede or Wool. I’ve seen Y2’s Type 1, but it’s a bit too flashy for me. Has anybody seen any of these around by any chance or does anybody have a...

    so Yeah, I doubt they would take the return. I mentioned it to Shawn, but he just brushed it off, but reassured if those areas were to fail at any point in the jackets lifespan he would replace the jacket. I much rather would of had a solid good quality jacket to begin with. I mean these are...

    Thank you for the in depth reply, explanation and comparison pictures. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to reply to me. I’ve been considering pulling the trigger on a goat skin G-1 or An-j-3 for a while since I have an A-2 in horsehide, but I’m in still in an A-2 phase right now. I...

    I think your best shot would be to try suede, most of their leathers are with the exception of capeskin and horsehide are pretty matte compared to most leather companies. Even their HH is pretty matte compared to other HH I own.

    Hello All, If anybody has had any experience with both the Goat Skin and Horsehide in seal brown. Can I get your opinion on what the major differences are and which hide you prefer the A2 in? Thank you in advance. Cheers.

    Disregarding your opinions on the overall stiffness of the leather this is actually a really nice looking leather.

    I do agree. Either way I’ve never been into lighter colored jackets so I am in luck.

    You are seriously the one man army to this thread and I really appreciate it. Do you think I should I swap it out for their HH or Steer-hide instead? Or are they around the same quality wise?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Hello All! Hope this message finds you well. I was looking into buying a G-1 Flight Jacket from Five Star. I am wondering if anyone has had any good experience with their Goat Skin specifically their 1.2mm Seal Brown. I’ve seen the word “premium goat skin” get thrown around a couple of times...

    Oh trust me I thought about this a lot. But they’ve been wanting one for years, it’s one of those things you grow up with your older brother watching a movie or seeing a poster and they say “Wow that’s a really cool jacket. I’ll probably never afford one or have one, but I wish I did”. And now...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thank you for your very respected, and swift reply/advice. I will add that I am buying this as a gift for a family member in California and I think the most cold it will see would be a small trip to NYC. I think I’m unfortunately going for the look more than the function. With that said do you...

    Yes. Very interested I was actually going to put in an order for B-6 very soon. Any suggestions for sizing or materials? Never ordered a shearling jacket before.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yes sir. I was going to type more, but hilariously enough I sneezed and clicked send. My point was compared to my previous experience with Five Star Leather’s Premium Leather this is certainly the better leather in my opinion. Keep in mind I’m a huge fan of old school work wear/military gear. I...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Goodmorning to all, I have purchased a Roughwear A-2 in 2.2mm CHL in “Black/Brown”. And Five Star Leather has produced an amazing garment. I own an A-2 from Buzz Rickson as well as a Aero “Sheene” that are very similar in thickness to this jacket. I have previously bought a 1.2mm HH A-2 and was...

    Thank you for the pictures! Very nice grain on that jacket. Now that you have a horsehide and 2.2mm CHL which one do you think is your preferred leather and why? I’m trying to figure out if the horsehide is worth the money.

    Thank you for the reply! Can I see a picture of the jacket? For the life of me I can’t find it. Thank you in advanced

    Red I don’t like the 1.2mm because it’s too shapeless in my opinion the collar just crinkles like a bag. But I was wondering since it was steerhide, what was the difference in 5* standards.
