Here is the original that was sent to replicateYeah good points. By his Cal, you mean the vintage D-pocket Road Master?
The original had a Cal Leather Sam Browne Belt but they could not replicate that with out buying expensive machinery I was toldAwesome, thanks for the links @Bahabp100!
Yes 1.2 black horse hideThe CHP replica looks great. If I didn't already have one that ticks all the boxes for me I'd consider it. Do they still have the 1.2mm HH as advertised? Wonder if delete badge bolder, belt loops, handwarmer zippers could be accommodated to turn it into an aviator-esque CHP...
Maybe the design elements of the kidney panel, side laces and waistband stitching would make it look like a weird Frankenjacket.

It strikes me that the Cal in this thread would be a great visual reference for you if you want Five Star to add a chest pocket, since the placement in relation to the snaps would ensure that you don't get one of those absurdly high Five Star chest pockets.
I recommend not changing the pattern whatsoever just plug in you measurementsI’d recommend getting the Cal for the superior pattern then getting a D pocket on it (assuming the size of their D pocket is good).

You are right.. i too agree with your statementI recommend not changing the pattern whatsoever just plug in you measurements
That’s a very nice, grainy hide. Which is it?I have 5 five star leather jackets and think each one is worth the money. But really been loving my Indiana Jones style jacket from them lately!
Just the standard steerhide in comes with. This was there standard 40 with just some shortened sleeves for me (I’m short haha)That’s a very nice, grainy hide. Which is it?
