    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Just got this Borsalino for €49. Looks late 50s - early 60s to me. Looks to be in brilliant condition, just a bit of dirt that’ll probably clean off with a quick brush and a bit of tape. Bit if steam and this one should be good to go. Don’t see any moth bites or stains, Sweat looks good too...

    (One of) the most unique Jeans you’ll ever see.

    Here the rest of the pictures: I thought maybe some of you might get a kick out of seeing these. You dont see something like this everyday!

    (One of) the most unique Jeans you’ll ever see.

    Today Id like to show you all something a little different. My one and only pair of "jeans" (that I still wear). These Jeans are made by a Chinese manufacturer called "Red Tornado" & are perhaps more accurately described as denim trousers. I bought them because I was searching for very high...

    Favorite WWII song? Lili Marleen.

    I'll Be Home For Christmas is another one. My favourite Christmas song too.

    What "Style" do you WISH you could pull off, but know you can't?

    I LOVED the Ferengi costumes in DS9! You might well be right.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Here are a couple pictures of me wearing the jacket. I’m sorry, neither me nor the person who took the picture are good photographers. I basically never take "selfies" for social media, so the quality or colours aren’t very good. I think this jacket nails the authentic "ww2 fit" I was going for...

    Avirex G-1 Goatskin Jacket

    175 for a jacket like that is always a good price! Is the mouton genuine aswell or synthetic?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The Dubow arrived today! Leather definitely looks a lot better now that I have it in hand. I am no expert on flight jackets but this jacket certainly gives me the look I was going for. This is my first experience with goatskin and its a night and day difference to cow or horse hide. Much...

    Import duty tax

    DHL express will let you pay online, but will charge for the service. If the information (documentation) the seller provides is insufficient, DHL might ask you to fill out a customs form, so be weary of that. Then they will also require you to provide proof of purchase like a receipt, so if the...

    Thoughts on Cotton Fisherman & Nautical Sweaters

    I wear cheaper cotton sweaters at home because I know they will get dirty and will have to be washed often. I can just chug them into the wash. Plus my cat will make sure destroy any sweater I’m wearing with its claws, so no need to waste the good wool sweaters for lounging around at home.

    The ultimate badass jacket - what’s your pick?

    The various leather flight jackets used during ww2, but only when worn by actual ww2 veterans. Especially those with many patches & artwork.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    After I sent them an email asking for an update yesterday, today they sent me the pictures of the completed jacket. The lighting probably doesn’t show the colours correctly, I’m sure the leather will look richer in person. The overall look is definitely spot on. Looks authentic to something that...

    Hat Creases

    Most hats you can shape yourself no problem, plenty of tutorials on YouTube. However the crowns of certain older hats were actually hard and cannot be dented. Most famously certain types of Derby/Bowler. So make sure you ask the seller before you buy whether the crown is soft or hard (meaning...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    How long should one expect FS to usually take these days to make & ship a standard, unmodified jacket?

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I’ve got a Five Star 27798 Dubow in veg tan crystal goatskin coming. My first A2. Until recently I’ve never cared for the A2 look, but lately I’m just loving it. Tastes change I suppose, sometimes even overnight.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Well, I placed an order with them for a Size 42 27798 in veg tanned crystal Goat. Excited to see how my first experience with them will turn out. I’ll post a picture here once it arrives. Not too worried about it being too tight, for example I’ve got a wool winter coat with a chest 1cm smaller...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Does anyone here have a picture to share of a FS in crystal brown veg. goatskin?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks! I’m planning to get the 27798. My actual shoulder width is about 44cm, so the closest size they offer is 42 which has 44,5cm shoulders. Would that be accommodating enough? Next size up is 45,5cm.
