Five Star Leather Jackets

Shawn needs to be listening, we’ve given him so much business and continue to.

Plus it’s in the works to have a store here in New York. Once that happens the stock jackets may be lower in price because shipping should be lower.

I wonder if they could afford to pay rent, payroll, and overhead on a store in New York with the prices they are charging, I don’t think so.

Hello folks,
I have received my first Fivestar Leathers (and my actual first ever) leather jacket.

Short summary:
Model: LINK
Jacket cost: 230USD
Shipping: 120USD

As You can see, shipping was a bit expensive (over half of the price of the jacket), but the package has been sent from Germany, so I didn't have to pay additional custom fees.

After placing the order, I asked them if I can somehow purchase goatskin gloves, without having to pay for shipping again and they threw a pair for free! That was really kind of them.

I'm really happy with the jacket overall and the sizing (will post photos with jacket on later).
I wanted to get brown quilted lining, but it wasn't available so I decided to go with Wine Red Burgundy Satin.

The part I'm not happy about is how awful it was to communicate with them. Half of my questions went unanswered - event when I asked 3 questions, each one starting with another number in new line, only the last one has been answered.

When I asked if they have a finger length size chart for gloves (I have fairly slim hands with long fingers), they ignored the question and just told me to pick a size, so they can add it to the package (once again, really nice of them to thrown in free pair of gloves, but they are too small for me).

So to summ up, I'm happy with the product, not entirely happy with the experience. But it was fast and there is no other alternative in this price point.

@Oystermuppet
Glad it worked out for you. Such communication would be unforgivable if you wouldn't consider that this is a side hustle for them (mass production for companies being their main hustle). You're low profit for them - so low effort.
I hope you're happy with the jacket as you wear it more, I was quite happy initially but became less and less happy with the fit and mobility as time went on.

Your jacket looks nice! Hope you enjoy it as I am enjoying mine so far

@TartuWolf yes, in the end I'm a proud owner of this beautiful jacket
It's not really a tight fit, so I hope I won't have any mobility issues. But I guess I'll find out when I finally purchase a heavy sweater for winter.

@herculance thank You I can't wait to wear it tomorrow. I think I need to air it out a bit, because the odour is still there

yes the initial odor really sucks but I can say mine has really subsided and smells kinda similar to the Schotts I see in Nordstrom

Posting some photos. You have to excuse the poor lighting, camera quality and my posture (which I haven't realized is so bad!).

I think the sizing is okay, I guess it could've been a bit more narrow in the shoulders.

I would say it fits you pretty well!

Fit looks correct but you are the expert as to whether it is or isn’t
