    Five Star Leather Jackets

    It's the sizing for sure that is the deal breaker for me. Nothing fits me off the rack, I need good chest and shoulder size with small waist. I didn't order 5* before because I didn't like the leather, so I gambled on this one. I hope brokerage fees from DhL don't hose me. Does understating...

    Ok, so he said no fit pics because the jacket is too big for him.

    He didn't send any, just a bunch like these and measurement pics.

    I understand that it isn't HH, but standard cow with the "SXL" treatment. Supposed to be dark brown.

    Here's my Bootlegger styled jacket. Pics from today. Shawn said the Shawnexel made for a 3 kg jacket. (!)

    Looks amazing. I can't wait to get the bootlegger clone in the same leather.

    I hope you're right, the leather looks very appealing in the pictures.

    Ok. I'm hesitant as I know how exacting the standards are here! I hope it gets the stamp of approval.

    Shoulders feel tight (19-19.5) as do the arms (8.25 across bicep). About 25" pit which is as tight as the tailor said she could do.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'm excited myself. Right when I finalized my order details, they shut down for 10 days from Covid. Shawn told me it's getting done this week. I'm hoping I got the specs right. I basically went with measurements from a handful of other jackets I had/have and hoped for the best. To tide...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I wonder how much of 5*'s business is from a bunch of middle aged hipsters from this site, sending obscure designs to his shop from overseas. Shawn: Sanjay, put down that naan, I just received another pattern from Mr. Tony. Sanjay: Again?! Why can't we just make plain bomber jackets? *Curses...

    It could be that a sense of tension, or reduced mobility is part of the package when wearing a jacket with large panels of leather? I have a cheap cafe racer style with fantastic mobility, but it's made with many small pieces sewn together. They may flex differently than a higher quality jacket.

    I've never ordered a custom jacket before so I'm nervous of the sizing details. I hope it all works out.

    Which pair of Brave Star jeans should I hem?

    Seeing that Cone Mills shut down, I stocked up on several pairs of Brave Star jeans the past few months. Standard 36" length. I'm wanting to hem one for a different look so I don't have to cuff them all. But I'm hesitant because Cone denim is no more, so if I regret my choice, I can't get...

    I think it looks fantastic, and the colour pretty similar to his pics he sent of this new leather. I'm anxiously awaiting my own. How is the weight? Shawn warned me it's thick, heavy.

    Yeah - once you've decided to give up, you're liberated to do anything you want.

    Kar Karsten, thanks again for your great sizing advice in ordering from 5*, I appreciate all your ideas.

    Very poetic. Why the Mr. Miyagi pic? Is that the "no mercy" face to use on your recalcitrant jacket finish?
