    It's so cool that it became a stock model! How are you liking it so far? Does it have a good range of motion? And @MrProper thanks for pointing this out, I somehow missed it!

    Wow, these jackets look phenomenal! My first dip into non mall jackets was with Fivestar, and this definitely seems like a step up! The Marling really appeals to me, did anyone order this yet? I'm wondering about the mobility. I'm considering ordering a Tailgunner from Simmons Bilt, but maybe...

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    Indeed it looks similar to the 688, although I didn't even knew that model. My jacket is the 1930 caferacer model (https://www.fivestarleather.us/products/civilian-vintage-1930s-classic-men-real-leather-jacket) with my own measurements and 1 slanted chest pocket instead of 2 horizontal. The fit...

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    Made some pics after work. Had maybe 2 hours of wear in total, arm creases are developing nicely. The jacket is less shiny as the pictures make it appear.

    Beautiful jackets! That steerhide is stunning. To my untrained eye the jackets look quite similar. Do you use them for different purposes? For example one for riding, the other daily wear?

    I received a jacket last week in premium waxed goat. It's not as shiny as it would appear in my opinion. Since the temperature dropped a little I had a chance to wear the jacket, the sleeves already are breaking in nicely. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow

    So, the jacket arrived yesterday! For someone who only ever had a thin sheepskin fashion jacket this feels like a big step up. This leather definitely needs time to break in. I'm extremely happy with how it turned out, how it feels and how it wears. Now it's time to wait for actual leather...

    I'm really excited for that shine, it looks good from the pictures. Indeed it's the premium goat, waxed. The jacket @TartuWolf had made in this leather made the decision a lot easier I must say. It will arrive Tuesday

    With all of your input I ordered the jacket last week, and now its ready. It looks really awesome, exactly what I wanted. I will write a review when it arrives. Some pics:

    So I'm in the process of putting everything together for my first order. I'm going for the 1930 civilian caferacer (https://www.fivestarleather.us/products/civilian-vintage-1930s-classic-men-real-leather-jacket). Is there anything I'm missing in your opinion? So far I have the following...

    Yes the horsehide is also tempting. Any specific hide/type I should ask for?
  23. J

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks you all, this is all extremely helpful! I'll provide them with the measurements of a jacket that fits me well to try and nail the fit. As for the hide, I will ask them what is available. The premium goat seems super nice, but a good steerhide is also appealing. All though I wouldn't want...
