Five Star Leather Jackets

[TREEMAN]

Looks good to me. Maybe the arms are a little wide but the other things you mentioned are unnoticeable.

I think they tried their best to stitch that cxl leather .I noticed softer leather looks more simetrical but often has unregular Stitching because the thread sinks in unevenly.
Stiffer leather has neat stich density but the hide always tries to fight you while stitching it .They even marked the top stich for the zip but the hide wasn't cooperating and kept bending up which would not happen with goat . Quite a lot of the top tier brands use a lot of glue and tape and skiving to prevent that .
They need more practice.
It looks quite good to me

I'm curious about the length, probably just looks like that in pictures. The jacket looks great overall, love those sleeves.

you mean back length? It is little over 25 inches.

I think you should be fine with those measurements around the shoulders.

I like how the cuffs look by the way, first I wanted to go for a similar look on my design but I'll go for a button sort like the inspiration jacket.

Just found out the buckles are facing the wrong direction.....

I think that this is not the case, he just didn't loop the strips around the buckle I think.

Yes, but pics of Shawn wearing it.(I found front one, but can't find back one)

Unfortunately I don't have those pics. I wouldn't worry too much. I have found that the pics I receive and the actual item often don't have much in common and the things I worry about from his pics don't materialize in person.

Now they have to fix it.

It seems the same as my half-belts, see the difference in the leather strip:
this is the "correct way":


and I think this is what you see in SHawn's photo:

Or maybe I don't quite understand?

you got me confused, anyway they did it wrong.....

 

[PilotJens]

I think the buckles can be used both ways .The way they are now made them lock themselve .The other way would make it adjustable on the fly .BUT if the leather is too thick then it won't work that way

 

[Harris HTM]

it is your jacket so you know better!
But if you want the buckles to be the same as an Aero half belt for example, then I think they are correct.
It seems a wonderful jacket so consider it well whether this will be a deal-breaker for you!

I thought exactly the same, if @Hh121 wants to loop it around the buckle then he was to use a pair of pliers... and all his muscle strength!

I am now thinking if it worth the struggle to fix that, it could leave bad stich holes etc.....

I AGREE, THE LEATHER STRAP SIMPLY IS NOT FED THROUGH THE BUCKLE TOWARD THE BACK. I WOULD ASK FOR A PIC FOR CLAIRITY.

 

[ton312]

Sorry I wasn't shouting , caps lock.

yes, this is what I was trying to express but unfortunately English is my third language.
Thanks and I think YOU FORGOT YOUR CAPS-LOCK ON.

Lol, I thought it was treeman.

 

[Harris HTM]

It's really annoying! I give them clear instruction but they still did it wrong.

Is the buckle in this photo the way you actually want it??

I think it’s right but they should have fed the straps through differently. The strap (yellow arrow) should be fed through with the buckle side (green arrow) then over the buckle bar.

Yep...Seems correct otherwise.
