    Agreed, looks great.

    A bit of a leather smell, nothing bad.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yes, all of the Five Star G1 jackets have the elastic strap in the back.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That one has the newer style knits. Here is a Goodwear 55j14 repro, similar height knits as the Five Star but the matching brown doesn't draw the eye to the knit as much. Although I will admit my jacket should be an inch longer in the body.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The contrasting color doesn't help, but after wearing it for a day I'm ok with it. I just wish it was more obvious the knit was taller when I requested this G1 version. They have since updated the photos on the website so it's obvious.

    It is, although it looks like some contracts of the earlier G1 models have tall waist knits. 4" vs the standard 3".

    They just copied the label. I saw this on a thread from 2009.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    My jacket arrived late yesterday, it only took 4 days to make it from Pakistan to the West Coast of the USA. Crazy. I like the jacket in general, it's well constructed and the leather seems to be high quality. I expected the 1.4mm goatskin to be more substantial than it is, but I really don't...

    So, what’s the problem? Looks like they sent you the wrong size. I must admit I don’t know anything about A2 jackets.

    Ok, thanks for that info. If makes me feel a bit better. I’ll post some fit pics when my jacket arrives. Looks like it’s in Germany now. I’m on the west coast of the US.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I get that. He specifically told me his tolerance was 1cm when I asked, before he made it . I was just comparing what I ordered to what I received. I am not concerned So much with the measurements that came within .5”...and I told him that. My main concern is the back length Being .75” off, (at...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This is mine that’s on its way. When I first received the photo I was not happy as I was not expecting a knit that tall. I decided to have him ship the jacket out anyway because the overall dimensions seem to be correct. Although after reading seank’s post above I can’t be sure. If it doesn't...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The jacket looks great in general but since the measurement provided by Shawn doesn't appear to be correct, and the mouton is the wrong color, I think you have a case to have it replaced. The fit looks good to me, if you're into a really cropped look. I have a feeling mine is going to hit about...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I had a similar experience, the knits looked line the wrong color and the interior looked kind of washed out. Sean told me it was the camera they use for measurement pics and sent me some higher quality ones. Not sure why they do t upgrade the camera they use for measurement pics as I’m sure it...

    Nice, i’m looking forward to seeing some fit pictures. I noticed we ordered the same pattern in similar measurements. If you look at the back measurement pic Sean sent you should see how tall the waist knit is compared to the shell.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Be advised if you order the AN-6552 from Five Star the single ply waist knits are a bit taller than normal, 4.5” vs the standard 3”, so the leather portion of the jacket will be shorter. I didn’t know that before receiving the measurement pics from Shawn. After some looking around it seems like...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I just gave the OK for Sean at Five Star to ship my AN-6552. It only took 4 days for them to make it. I went for 1.4 oz goatskin with red quilted lining in the body and sleeves. I also had him add two oversize inner pockets. I have a leather cross zip from FMC that has them and they come in...
