Five Star Leather Jackets

[MoFo]

This might be the nicest leather I've seen from 5*. Much more color depth than any of their other leathers.

I think that too! If one doesn’t know the manufacturer, then he could think of Buzz Rickson’s, Aero or other “big ones”…
I love the color and not only this – the leather is thick, heavy, a little shiny, just perfect!

I meant to come on here to mention this leather. I’m impressed.

What colour does the brandy HH have on the inside? It looks so freaking good .It reminds me a little of Horween leathers (bracing myself for impact).

I can really see myself getting something with brown buttons in that leather.Maybe a A1 or a second Himmel inspired Cossack .
Does anyone have some design suggestions for a medium length buttoned jacket ? This leather could be the answer for me because it would not look like something that the SS would wear lol

on the inside is the natural leather color

That looks absolutely amazing. How's the fit?

Is it based on one of their stock patterns or did you send them the original?

 

[navetsea]

very nice, and very tempting to replace all those square zipper pulls with custom key chain pullers, or small D ring and leather tabs

I recall seeing on their FB fan page, that it was made from an original someone sent.
It’s got the feel of 50’s 2 tone jackets, the goat is tough and light at the same time.
I feel a bit snug at the abdomen (time to go on a diet). Some details can be pushed to have an amazing replica of the original Guide Master by Wolf… I can list with pictures if you’re ever interested.
I’ll have to change the zipper pull, to a more vintage (diamond pull, or ring and chain)
But most importantly, it’s the jacket I expected, it’s a good surprise for me

Fit is good, and made to the specs I asked (it’s Christmas time, so a bit of extra abdomen, temporary of course ;-)

Détails I like
Compared to my original GMW, they did great with the collar shape!

I asked a camo lining, personal taste

Open sleeve gusset

I provided à NOS 50’s Talon zipper

I replaced similar #5ykk puller with this, 1cm width with a split so you can easily use pliers to open it and close it again. Easily available here in craft supplier shop

Yeah, got it this morning. I had been recently talking to shawn about one of his jackets and i was going to purchase soon but i pulled the trigger today after getting the coupon. I'm having this aviator half-belt made in whiskey horsehide. This is my first half-belt, for anyone that knows, where should the hem of this ideally be? It seems like at or a little below the waist

Just a friendly PSA to anyone with the HH leather:

I have a 5* Cossack jacket in pull-up brown HH that shrunk after getting caught in the rain.
P2P: Shrunk by 1"
Sleeves: shorten by 0.5"
Back: shorten by 0.5"
Torso: shrunk by 0.5"

Luckily, I'm still able to wear it since I originally oversized it for layering. One issue is the collar is now wavy and has "bubbles" because the two sides of the collar are not the same size. Does anyone know if this is an easy fix? It's not that pronounced in the picture below.

Could you please share your instruction and measurements pdf for the 5* cossack jacket in pull-up brown HH?

 

[Sashidc]

Hi folks - I'm new to the forum here .... could someone please share measurements pdf provided to 5* for their cossack jacket pattern?

I guess I'm really dense - how the heck does one enter in the discount code on their checkout process? I can't find a way...
