    Five Star Leather Jackets

    You did, and I never expressed my gratitude for that, for which I apologise. For what its worth I did in fact look at the links you sent but none of them were suitable. Lol how is it far from a police jacket? I just don't get it, maybe there is something I'm not seeing. Side warmer pockets...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That's true, only Canuck Panda was helpful enough to point that out. The description was close enough that he could figure out what I was thinking of without me knowing what it was called. In so doing, he proved that what I wanted was conclusively not a franken jacket because it already...

    Lol it's a police jacket! God minor changes to a police jacket pattern and suddenly it's a franken jacket! God forbid anyone want anything except a classic highwayman.

    Wanted to add yes, thank you I did and it looks great. Something like that in decent brown teacore horsehide and without the dividing line down the middle of the back would be great for me!

    Found the post you're referring to - I was referring to patch pocket size. M65 chest pockets are smaller than A2 waist pockets.

    Somehow I missed this post! What is the name of this jacket? Who made it?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Read my post again - I never said anything about it being shaped like an M65. I just wanted it to have chest pockets like an M65. So again, the same silhouette. Edit: found the post that confused. It was referring to the size of the pockets and not the jacket itself. Nonetheless my other posts...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Fair enough, this is the forum of afficionados. I suppose I expected that if you were to say its a mishmash of design elements that don't go well together, you'd be talking about visually. How a casual observer would see it and not an expert. That was my expectation of the meaning of your...

    This would technically be the fourth leather jacket I've ordered and the second (possibly, depending on what's available) custom leather jacket.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think if I made examples of the jacket that I envisioned and a police jacket, people on the street could point out the differences but I seriously doubt anyone would have opinions beyond that. It's only true afficionados of the hobby that would realize what the differences meant. Again...

    I see minor differences, at best, so yes its just like it.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks, well the patch pockets are not an absolute necessity - it's more that I think pockets that close in that overhead manner would look good. I want something longer than motorbike jacket length but shorter than coat length. Standard jacket length really. Is the police jacket that length...

    If we all shared our opinions as rudely as you, this forum wouldn't be very useful. How about you let Leilah make up her own mind instead of trying to guess what she would do? I see that a lot of her business is already custom jackets and like has been pointed out, police jackets are actually...

    Okay so then RW is not an option. Let's see if Leilah agrees with you, if she does then fine, no hard feelings. I wonder why RW was recommended on this thread then.

    That's very interesting! If Aero made it before, maybe they'd be willing to make it again? So not such a Franken jacket if a major manufacturer has made one just like it?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That's your opinion. I see people making jackets with mixing different hides and I think they look awful. In any case at least one of Leilah's designs has chest patch pockets so I don't know why everyone thinks the idea is so horrible.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Eh, I think its entirely rational and an important part of being an adult. If I just spent my money on whatever I wanted, I'd not only create problems in my marriage but also in my own goals like retirement and providing for my children. I won't just splurge on a $2000 jacket because it looks...

    I've emailed them although it does make a little nervous that they are so new. Plus I don't see any horse hide on their website.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    To go back to this... it isn't that price is not a limiting factor, it's that I wonder how much benefit I'd get from spending the additional $800 - $1000. Will I be twice as happy? Three times as happy? I don't know. To put it another way, with the cost of one JL jacket, I could purchase a FS...

    How much would a Johnson Leathers jacket cost, roughly?
