At this point, I highly doubt it but it never hurts to ask.Did you say that there is some of that thick HH left over?

I like the collar you went with here. It's not the one that comes with the 30s half belt.This looks much better. Shawn suggested horn buttons at the cuff. Perfect choice!
I’m speechless at how quickly Shawn was able to get this done. Absolutely impeccable customer service. The best I have ever received. Amazing!

It's actualy the same as I usually spec; 3.5" point but I did shrink the neckhole by 1" from the brown one.I like the collar you went with here. It's not the one that comes with the 30s half belt.
Agreed, these buttons look much much better. These remind me of @morrison2951 Wolf halfbelt.

Good eye. Nicely done.Agreed, these buttons look much much better. These remind me of @morrison2951 Wolf halfbelt.
I’m really excited! The jacket was/is supposed to be sort of a mash up between two vintage pieces.I knew that I liked this Five Star jacket! Not only the cuff buttons resemble the vintage Wolf HB.
Edit: Added Wolf 40's photos.
I may source a Five Star in my future.
Nice score @ton312. View attachment 424745 View attachment 424748 View attachment 424749
I am no expert on this, it is just happend all my other jackets has great mobility are straight sleeve, maybe it is something to do with how to attach the sleeve as well.It’s straight as a board:

But I disagree. The curved sleeve is ergonomic in that your arms always have a slight bend and forward flex, unless held rigid. The 2mm is also incredibly soft despite its weight. Truly remarkable. It wears very easily but sacrifices nothing with regard to heft. Honestly one of my favorite “new” leathers since as far back as I can remembe.
yes that’s a huge part of it. And the inside seam. I’m particularly interested in your result with moving that seam.I am no expert on this, it is just happend all my other jackets has great mobility are straight sleeve, maybe it is something to do with how to attach the sleeve as well.
I agree but I do feel the area between these arrows show too much material.It's nearly perfect man, no need to spend extra $.
Congratulations, very fine.I agree but I do feel the area between these arrows show too much material.

Not the worst thing in the world but 1” flat equates to 2” in diameter. That’s quite a bit of excess imo. Easy to fix though. No amount of curls at the squat rack are going to help me fill these. LOL.
While I saw from Shawn’s photo the diameter of the sleeve was greater than what I requested, it looked within reason at only 1/4” over spec. That to me is perfectly acceptable. 1” however, is simply too much. While I could leave well enough alone and just let it be, that diameter will always trouble me, and keep me from enjoying it as much as I should. I don’t think it’s a terrible thing by any means but I do want it to fall where requested.Congratulations, very fine.
I don't mind the sleeve and wouldn't change it. But of course that is always personal preference.
What I find annoying is that sloppy measurements are taken at 5*. Interestingly, always when 5* messed up the desired dimensions. Have they done so with the collar of my brown jacket and then with my very first 5* jacket too. And in between again, I think. Can't remember anymore though.
I do not want to imply any intention, but the suspicion already imposes itself, because if the dimensions are correct, they always measure correctly.
