    Five Star Leather Jackets

    A lot of people love Vanson leather, but I still have yet to a see something I like from them. I hope I find one I like to add to my collection, but seeing how bad they fit on everyone else (even vanson leather fans) I’m going to have to pass until I see one in person to make sure it fits.

    No I swear I was looking at them a month or two ago to another buddy of mine. They were great prices, this was a quick jump or something.

    Not related to Five Star Leather, but did Vanson Leather Prices just go up? I’m recommending Vanson for a friend who wants an affordable biking jacket and they’re asking for $700-800+ now. Could of sworn they were under a $600 for almost most.

    Where at? Looking for a cotton canvas or alternative CVC to avoid Nomex when I can, not a fan of the CWU’s shiny material.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I have D-96 Tanker Jacket. I’m not sure if it’s the correct name for the jacket, but it’s a matte flame retardant Nomex Jacket. It’s a very handsome jacket in person and I’ve had it for some time, but I’ve grown a little suspicious over Nomex’s toxicity. Not sure if I’m overthinking it, but I...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Can confirm B-3 is a solid purchase when bought on SALE with the exception of the Russet Horsehide looking like characterless dull chocolate milk. I think Shawn needs to seriously revise their Russet HH’s top coat, needs to be a deeper red with a bit more shine to it. Maybe a mix of this and...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I agree on the sizing department, I did include that in the CONS, but also tried to include a familiar solution for that issue. I updated the wording on the “PROS” to avoid further confusion there. And that scent sounds terrible I hope you sold it or tossed it in that case. I get slight...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Sorry. I’m not bothered by the smell at all, actually I get compliments on the leather smell. Why wouldn’t you consider customization a advantage? You can choose thickness, color, fleece length, zipper color, stitch color, and measurements. Ultimately this is what makes them so special and...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    So just a summary of the current general opinion over Five Star Leather as a company: CONS: 1. Currently too expensive for most jackets to be considered worth it. 2. Sleeves and possibly Rear Panels/Shoulders need to improve (Need a 3D shape/curvature as good patterns are made). 3. Best...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think it might just be modeled after a moto jacket, I have an aero Leather CHIPS and Taylor Leather jacket like this. It’s made so it won’t bunch up in the front too much and cover up your rear a little bit more when you’re riding. Definitely something that has a purpose, but I’m not sure if...

    That is the difference between 5* and Aero. But no really I actually prefer the measurement that came out in the end. As I said I am very happy.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Got mine a couple inches off after they confirmed it to be on the dot, they didn’t know shoulder or chest measurements on set sizes either. Could be just a fluke on my order. It’s nothing terrible and I don’t mean to slander their name, I honestly just thought that was the name of the game here...

    I can agree they have done this a lot, but so did Aero and Thurston Bros. Must be a leather maker tradition.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Hello All, I’m ordering a B-3, I was wondering if anybody had some tips on sizing. How much should from a Cotton lined jacket for 20-22mm Shearling? How much should I expect it to flatten? Anything would be extremely helpful. Thank you.

    How is that hide aging? I am curious to see how water, interacts with it. Any staining, top coat coming off? Is it good leather? Please elaborate, I am very interested.
