Five Star Leather Jackets

[torfjord]

Damn, I just realised I think I overdid it on the sleeve length. Jacket has not been shipped yet, hopefully Shawn sees my email before he ships it out tomorrow. I took measurements from a jacket with a very curved sleeve. 5* sleeve is straight. I measured outside the curve which added about 2 inches. Cautionary tale, ask for a picture of how they take sleeve measurements before. Not like I did, after the jacket is already built. Well, hopefully he’ll see my email in time and they can fix it. Otherwise, I’m sure I’ll find someone locally to shorten the sleeves. It’ll be a lot more expensive though.

I’m thinking maybe I will take a punt on a J100 in golden brown buffalo suede.

My main reservations are that most examples of suede CRS are awful mall brands and I don’t know anything about buffalo suede.

Yeah, I’m a bit scared that I won’t like the unlined leather but I’ve wanted to try for a long time. I think since @Monitor got his unlined Aero trucker. And he seems to like his so shouldn’t be a problem.

Yes, I saw his too and that looks lovely. I'm sure it will be okay if you wear long sleeves but wondering how the feel is if you wear a t shirt. He also has that trucker motorcycle jacket with the zipper that looks cold as hell. Good luck

I've got one in grey goat suede:

If anybody is interested, it's for sale

Should be here on 12/28. But I’m not expecting any tracking estimates to be accurate this time of year. Whenever is clever I suppose.

That back looks sweet. Nice teaser. Interested to see how the details pop in a much darker color. That Russet, though not a perfect shade, DID show off the front details pretty well. Hopefully the Seal is still the Deal!! That 26" back length is the ghost I'm always chasing in Vintage pieces. Its the perfect length for me. One of the reasons I am so interested in your projects is that our size preferences seem to be very much the same. Looking forward to seeing this one even though I already know its gonna be bitchen.

Looking good, @ton312

@MrProper thank you for posting the new labels. I think they look great. Now, if 5* could actually get some good quality HH in stock

Very nice Ton. You are finally getting your Arcadia half belt.

It’s kind of the horseshoe or hand grenade equivalent...close enough

I wish 5* would make a new section on their website exclusively for all of the new designs being introduced this year and going forward. It's a bummer trying to search them out amongst all of the other stuff. Oh well, gotta dream big! LOL

Be careful not to click 'fashion jackets'. You don't want to end up with one of these

Thanks for the link. However, I don't use FB or have an account there. It would be great to just have their website up to date as well. Just my $0.02.

I'm not on Facebook, nor do I use it either but anyone can access the Five Stars Facebook site and have a look.
