Congrats, it looks really good!
Aero does this too. I like thinner leather in the gussets. The Indian Ranger used a windflap in the sleeves instead of a full connected gusset.

Thank you @Jin431! It feels great and I added an inch to the chest for layering, I'm happy I did that as it's really comfortable with a sweater. The first pictures are taken with a sweater underneath.
I also like how it looks with just a t-shirt and unzipped. Definitely a keeper

Wow, man! This turned out great.

Well played! It does make perfect sense so you can wear it in the sun/rain/snow what have you. The back looks relaxed now but since you guys get rained on a lot that will have the creasing here and there soon enough and it will look even better!
@Riu I was a huge fan of your Aero
I know they're different beast and that you didn't buy the 5* as a substitute for the Aero. But I can't help comparing.

To me, that Aero had presence. It looked badass. I liked it much better than the 5*.
Got to say I prefer the 5 star in terms of style and fit - if I got one from them and it turned out like that I’d be thrilled
just don't have the patience yet for a custom order
@Riu that came out really well. Congratulations!!
You are not doing a fair comparison between 5star and Aero unless the 5star one is made from Horween hide or any high-end leather.
True, it's not a fair comparison. Like I said, different beast. But we're looking at two j100 style leather jackets. It's ok to say I like the looks of one beter than the other right?You are not doing a fair comparison between 5star and Aero unless the 5star one is made from Horween hide or any high-end leather.
oh, absolutely!True, it's not a fair comparison. Like I said, different beast. But we're looking at two j100 style leather jackets. It's ok to say I like the looks of one beter than the other right?
I bridge the waiting time for my Aeros with various experiments with 5* lol
Hopefully my next aero will come in four weeks. that's enough for another 5*. lol

And that's all that mattersI'm more than happy with my 5* purchase
I'm curious what's your next project with 5* . Maybe one day I'll grow some patience to wait but I just got too many things on my plate now and I was really annoyed after I had to send the Aero's back. I'm glad I decided to order from 5* as it's a really good base for other experiments.
I'm already doing the pictures and measurements for the CR. I'm just not sure whether I should take buffalo, steer or goat.
Shawn is proud that his leather is supple and probably 99% of customers who are into fashion jackets want it too.
We are a too small target group I think.
I'll ask shawn if he can wash the hide and heat dry it so the leather shrinks. maybe he can do that and it will get a good result.
Oh yes and I would also like to have another vest made of shearling.
