FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS
Hi! Yes, shoulders, chest and back should had been a little bit wider. That's where this jacket measurements failed, although I asked for it in an accurate way. I really could wear it unzipped, problems come when I zip it... Thanks!- ROOK ALLURES

Hi! Yes, this is the first one and yes I really need extra room on chest and shoulders. That's the main problem... I ask to lengthen the new one just 1cm more, as with larger shoulders and upper torso the jacket will drop a little bit and will feel more loose. But I really like jackets to end on...- ROOK ALLURES

November 22, but apologies, my mistake... I went to check the e-mail exchange and what really put me off was the portuguese VAT, plus custom import taxes. Here's their answer at the time: "R.e. price the UK VAT has been removed if shipped outside the UK - a UK customer pays us 20% more, as we...- ROOK ALLURES

Now I'm getting scared... I'm not ready to have 3 of 4 tries of a custom made jacket in order to have a proper one... Really hope they can make it right this time. I mean, they are professionals. Making jackets is their profession. This is not rocket science... I gave them all the info they...- ROOK ALLURES

Hi Mr Proper. I contacted them in the past because I was interested in one of their Highwyman Blue Label jackets and UK VAT was included... They kindly offered me the shipping cost, but I would have to pay 23% more (portuguese VAT) plus custom taxes that are calculated based on the buying cost...- ROOK ALLURES

Hi! Sorry but I was in a rush for my rehearsal. Yeah, I will post pictures but would like to compare both jackets after getting the new one. In fact I tried to sent them the jacket back in change of a new one, but all I could get was another one for half the price. I don't find it fair but it's...- ROOK ALLURES

Hi! I agreed on a discount, but it's been a total bummer... In some parts there are like 2cm less than what I ask for and the ridiculous thing is that they keep saying that the proportions are correct... The jacket and the hide are really awesome and it's kinda frustrating, because i really like...- ROOK ALLURES

Yep, working on that. At least 8% more for custom taxes + 23% more for portuguese VAT. It's a bunch!...- ROOK ALLURES

And I believe it won't be as cheap as that. With import taxes will cost me 400+... Although if I compare it to some premium brands, I can say it's cheap....- ROOK ALLURES

Agree, One of the jackets I wear the most also happens to be the largest one. Incredibly comfortable and with room enough for shoulders and chest. But this is the first time I'm making a custom jacket and here lies the reason why I'm a little anxious... The left one looks a little bit more roomy...- ROOK ALLURES

Thank you! I'm with you (3 . In some cases it's quite important WHERE do you measure.). That's why I send them pics of how I did it. So, they tend to skew it... :( Pit to pit., shoulder to shoulder and arm holes are very important measurements and if not exact, it can ruin the jacket in way that...- ROOK ALLURES

Hi again. Already have two jackets with gussets, although they improve facility in movements a lot, they tend to be bulky and don't lay flatten and I want a clean minimal look for the back. If this jacket was meant to ride I would probably go for the gussets. Thank you for your PDF, I'm going to...- ROOK ALLURES
