Five Star Leather Jackets

[Hobbes1]

Thanks, I am still waiting for the weight of the jacket, judging by the pictures the leather looks not too stiff and thinner than I thought.
p.s It is 5-6 oz hide, I asked them to select the thickest part of hide to make my jacket.

is this leather that you sent them?
looks great!

I’m dying to see this “in the flesh”. C’mon DHL! Post pics instantly @Hh121
I think this jacket raises the five star bar to the highest point to date.

I was also thinking to send them some leather. Shawn said they would need 40-45 feet for a jacket.

That's going to be fun to break in. I thought it would be a bit too thick for my taste but I like it. Time for fit pics!

Strange at about 2.6mm, I would have expected the jacket to be heavier

Looks great but few issues here:
1. Left shoulder looks much longer than right, the collar is not sits at center.
2. Outter side of cuff is longer than other side, not sure it is normal.
3. Requested zipped hand pocket, did not do that.
4. Front panel not cut equally and cause the main zipper not straight.

Really impressive work by 5star.

Me too!

Do you still have the fit pics of your russet californian from Shawn? I wanna see if sleeve length is right, thanks!

I'm curious about the length, probably just looks like that in pictures. The jacket looks great overall, love those sleeves.

Just found out the buckles are facing the wrong direction.....
