@torfjord Really nice combo and I especially like your leather trucker (really cool and unique front design). Is this one from 5Star or from another maker? What type of leather is it (goat, cow)? I'm sure you posted this already but I somehow missed this one. Thx. Robbie
Thanks Robbie! It’s a fivestar and it arrived just three days ago so I’ve only posted about it in the Fivestar thread. Based on a Wrangler trucker design with modified collar and custom fit. I went with their premium seal goat, which is a great looking leather.
Cheers mate. UK lockdowns and furlough were affecting my mental health so I decided to take some time off from everything.
I've acquired A LOT of jackets (leather jackets help me feel better lol) recently that'll I'll be posting over time.
Thanks once again

Holy something, they nailed the fit on this one! Your best trucker yet.
Thats wesome, you would blend in perfectly in any truck stop wearing that!
Thanks! And they sure did! Fivestar is a great option if you know your measurements. They built this exactly like I wanted to, not even one cm deviation on anything. I’d even go so far as to say that this is my best fitting jacket in any style.

The outfit looks great but that jacket is perfect on you
it's just a shame and a disgrace what transpired yesterday.
Yes, on point as usual.
The layered up looks great when you button it up! Congrats on the good looking trucker. On to the next project...

Man, that sounds awesome! That's a real bargain "by our standards" but on the other hand also quite lucrative for Fivestar since cost of living are much lower there compared to the EU or the US. Just 2 weeks turn-around-time is amazing.... it takes some makers almost 1 week to get back to a simple request. Again congrats and all the great looking Fivestar jackets make me thinking of ordering one..of course not in 2021 because of my New Year's resolution

Surely the New Years resolution is not applicable to a jacket that cost less than a pair of zippers on a Lost World jacket

Generosity of @Monitor - a quick pic. of the Sears Oakbrook CR. Crocs mercifully cropped out.

Excellent! You'll see how often you'll grab for this jacket. I have, even when it no longer fit me.
Love the trucker and the fit! probably that will be my next purchase.

Schools out due to rona, spent the morning with my boy. Right now, there is only one jacket for me
On the fence about this Aero Board Racer. It’s my 3rd attempt at getting the right combination of hide and measurements. Perfect t-shirt only fit so I suppose it lives up to the “racing shirt” heritage.
My Freewheelers Speed Master should be coming back next week from Alan and Damon at Johnson Leather after some alterations so that may send this one packing.
