Five Star Leather Jackets

[Riu]

I hope the measurements and actual fit finds you well!

I think a thick veg tanned goatskin would be really wonderful to wear but a substantial steerhide will be too. Can't wait to see fit photos soon, all the best!

Thank you @Jin431, same to you! Looking forward to seeing how your beautiful jacket fits

Just got the pictures from Shawn after sleeves were altered and jacket it's ready to be shipped. I'm quite happy with the result. Of course, I'll have to see how it fits me.

I'll wait for more leather option before I get another 5* order. Hope to see some of their rough out/suede and horse hide

That cafe racer looks cool, nice grain on that as well! Hope you receive the package soon

They said in 3-5 days should be here, got the tracking number. I also like the grain on the steerhide and I'll try to get some nice pictures when I get it.

I'm also curious about the horsehide so I'll wait until they get it, and decide maybe on that design. Not sure about the suede although it does sound tempting depending on the design.

Has anybody here tried this one?

I'm considering ordering one as Riu's steerhide looks so good. The lengths look a little long, but I'm sure Shawn can make it a little shorter.

I think the pics are stretched out

They are. Before they were flattened a bit now its the opposite I think I saw that one in one of the early posts.

Yeah... I'm not talking about how it appears in the pics, but from the sizechart. The 44 has a backlength of almost 27 inches. I would like closer to 25-25,5

I thought I saw it posted here but it was on their Facebook page and it says natural milled, maybe somebody else knows more about the size.

I just got one in the mail today actually that I had bought from eBay - will try to get some pics up as soon as I can. On first wear the sleeves are a bit long/full for my usual liking, but it's a really nice jacket.

A few quick fit pics.
The dimensions are spot on, the workmanship is flawless. All details are exactly as instructed. The press studs are much better than the jeans buttons on the trucker jacket.
Nevertheless I am not convinced. The leather feels more like chamois leather (washleather). Not necessarily bad, but different. Too soft and too thin for my taste. The leather with a thickness of 2 mm would be something completely different. Fresh out of the box it looks more like a mall jacket because it lacks character. I hope this will be change a little bit with wear.
The color is of course also a matter of taste, but I wanted to try something new. I'm not sure about that yet.
However, I have to say that the jacket is very comfortable to wear. Very light, like a fabric jacket or a sturdy shirt. Not bad for the summer or at home.
In retrospect, I should have taken buffalo, but I knew that I was taking a risk and I can't blame 5* for that. On the contrary, Shawn did a great job.

Perfect fit but I’ve come to expect nothing less from you.

Like I said the sleeves are too long and not as trim as I like. The jacket still had the new tags on it.

hmmmm, this pattern needs work.
