    Fivestar Horween latigo natural half belt jacket

    These jackets look great, in pics and also when you wear them. I don't know why you'd sell. A couple questions: 1.) How much leather is required to make a jacket this size? 30 square feet? 2.) Ballpark, what would Shawn charge? 3.) Where would you get it? I'm not crazy about 5Star's leather...

    FS: Brave Star heavyweight double black selvege denim jeans, sz 33

    Greetings gents, Last month I was desperate to order some Brave Star denim in my size - they produce in batches and routinely sell out. I took a chance that size 33 would fit me (I know now I'm a 32, end of story). I tried on these jeans twice and wore them around my house for about 20...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Back in 1993 when I thought I was Kurt Cobain I wore a chain wallet. Chain, not leather. It was a complete affectation, nobody was stealing my wallet. Also, I didn't sit on it, so it was pointless. It's been in my front pocket for 25 years. The new leathery chains look neat but are useless...

    FS: Aero Café Racer, black CXL FQHH

    I thought about buying it for weeks. I knew the fit wouldn't work though. I hope I can get one as cool in my size.

    FS: Aero Café Racer, black CXL FQHH

    I've been looking for a jacket like yours for a calendar year with no success. Given your sizing needs, if all you require is some alterations to make this an ideal jacket for yourself, I'd do it in a second. I've never seen another jacket like yours around and you wouldn't either. Keep it.

    FS: Aero Café Racer, black CXL FQHH

    The length down the front is short, is why maybe. Also the arms would be too long for some. This amazing jacket would fit me perfectly otherwise.

    That's disappointing about steer then. Stiff, thick, robust...that's what I want. I as well am intrigued by his HH. Shawn said when he gets it, it's in russet brown and seal. Those tones don't excite me though.

    Thanks Ton. I saw that you preferred the goat. I know though it's on the lighter side, and it seems suited to the designs you came up with. I wanted a more heavyweight feel. Why wasn't steer to your liking?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'm not plugging for them, but a few things: 1.) Leather selection looks better than 5*. 2.) Live chat to actually interact with their "Shawn". My communication with Shawn is a once per day message because he's on the other side of the world. Telegram-like. 3.) Styles - do any 5* styles...

    True enough. A CR seems badass for me at least! Any feedback on what his steerhide is like? My impression of all the leather types so far is that it's on the thin side, not particularly grainy.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'm not plugging for Lusso here, I just mentioned them because they are local to me and would offer sizing customization like 5* does. I was trying to compare apples to apples for that aspect - custom sizing. All I'm after is a CR, nothing dramatic, yet suiting my fit needs. But I did want...

    He recommended steerhide. I didn't see it mentioned on this thread. I wanted heavy, grainy.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    For sure. I've been looking for months. I've never seen a vintage one big enough for me. I'm strongly considering a new build from Aero but my past experiences make me wary in sizing. I've basically decided to take a flyer on 5* if they have horse in a few months, try my sizing. If it...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Well, I was specifically citing the cafe racer style as my example, not the (pretty great) custom designs. A $350 cafe racer style isn't a draw like a totally one of a kind 5* offering at the same price.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I took a day and read this entire thread, 76 pages. Whuh. Ha ha. I was initially excited about the idea of a customized, inexpensive jacket. I have been looking for a year for a used Aero that would fit me in the size 46 range and have seen literally nothing. So I wondered if Shawn could do...

    Wanted: Schott 641, size 46

    Hi. I'm still looking for 46 Aeros, but I'm switching gears for now. If anyone has a 641 HH and looking to sell, I could be interested! Thanks.

    I've wondered too. I love it.

    Aero Bootlegger in super heavy cordovan horsehide – 44

    Wow, what a nice jacket, I love it. If I'm seeing correctly though, it has 24" sleeves? What a shame, I need about 2.5" more.

    Aero custom order help: First buy, CR
