    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think my father would agree Yeah i think the outside shots show off the true color. It's definitely a bit of a chameleon depending on the lighting. As for the odor, i had also read that but the two jackets i received just had the normal pleasant leather smell. I certainly can't speak for...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    You know it brother, hey these things are supposed to be sportswear right? We went down to our shooting range for some target practice today and i took some better fit pics in natural lighting.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'm honestly not sure. It’s nothing like the Horween CXL on my Aero, besides the sturdiness. Here's a pic of the leather strip on the zipper showing the underside, I'm not sure if that tells you anything. The leather is fairly creaky, but it’s hardly been worn yet so I imagine that will subside...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Here's the rundown on the HH aviator finally (pardon the PJ pants, still at my dad's house on vacation). When i ordered this time, i was more exact in the measurements i sent shawn. I made sure to add a taper to the hem and a slight taper to the sleeves. I did love my grizzly from Shawn, but...

    Those wool/leather half belts that Aero make are one of the coolest jackets they offer

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Will do, I'd love feedback from you guys. I'm outlining everything right now, the real work is going to start when i get back to the city and all my illustration programs and Wacom tablet. That's how they designed labels back in the 30s and 40s right?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I still need to post a detailed review of my new Five Star but i wanted to let everyone know that I'm working on some new vintage-inspired labels for Shawn. I'm a designer by profession and while his labels aren't bad by any means, they could use some work, especially compared to the big time...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    My stepmom inherited this 70s Excelled biker jacket from her dad, who bought it new to ride in.

    Time for a grizzly?

    Wow, i had no idea! Was this functional or purely stylistic?

    Agreed. Five Star can deliver greatness, but extensive reading of the Five Star thread should be mandatory before anyone orders because you really need to know what to ask for

    Time for a grizzly?

    One thing Shawn needs to fix on his grizzly is the mega long belt and off-center buckle. I didn't notice it when i commissioned mine, but it kinda drove me nuts after a while. Definitely something to note for anyone looking to get a 5* grizzly, which would probably be a good move if you're on...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Brand new Five Star "whiskey" horsehide aviator. Currently waiting at Moynahan Station for a 7:25am train down south to visit the family. Gonna enjoy frolicking in the countryside wearing this, barely had a chance to wear it since i received it Monday

    Does anybody here add personal touches for their leather jackets?

    When I was in highschool, I had an enormous heavy duty black leather biker jacket with a bunch of punk band/generally antisocial pins in the lapels, made all the more hilarious by the fact that I was a solid 120 lbs of Southern steel at the time

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The bootleg horsehide Thedi has been delivered! Unfortunately, I'm in the city at work so i have two fingers crossed that the DHL man put it in the package chute and not just outside my building in the middle of Brooklyn Update: the package was safe and sound, and Shawn knocked it out of the...

    Can anyone help me with info about this Sears Leather Shop vest?

    I basically inherited this vest (long story) and i just found it again. I can't wear it and it's not really my style, though it is really cool and in near mint condition. I'm returning it to its rightful living owner soon, but I'm kind of curious about it. I have no idea what it's made of as the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah i agree, it looks like a lightly stained natural hide. I only knew to ask for it because someone here had a jacket made from it. Shawn desperately needs to update that materials page. I still don't know what "conic shoe upper" goat is, for the love of god

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thank you, i had a sneaking suspicion that jacket design came from here. Shawn actually sent me the pics of yours in that CHL when i was talking to him. Speaking of wool, how's the wool lining in it? I opted for pool table green
