    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Is there a thread on FL for getting help with measurement adjustments? Like a tailors/pattern makers advice thread? I'd really like to nail down my arm hole/sleeve width before my next order. Where would the best place for that be?

    Thank you! I think I'll go that route our just get them tapered and shortened. Just got it today, and trying to mentally correct the measurements for the next one (yeesh)

    Thanks! I agree, the sleeves are way too wide and slightly too long. I'm also not fond of the arm opening, I think it needs to be smaller, but I don't really know how to tell. I feel like I can take in the shoulders a smidge too

    Fresh out of the box. Leather is soft, but it's set kind of weird due to shipping. Black goat, super soft and pliable out of the box. Absolutely massive collar.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Two questions for the 5* gurus: - has Shawn figured out better jean/tack buttons to use for trucker jackets? I hate the "flexible" ones that he uses, where the post is on a bearing or wtv. I know a few folks here just ended up getting theirs without buttons at all and used their own. - what is...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think the shoulders on the moto were about 1" wider than I had requested initially, but I didn't notice until way after I already wore it quite a bit. I've ordered 7 jackets from them now, and aside from that, every other measurement was dead on. I'm not sure what discrepancy you're referring...

    How do people know how to request an armhole size and the corresponding sleeve width? Seems like a pattern making detail that's tough to judge as a layman

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Thanks! I didn't read about how you ordered it, just that you disliked the leather that it came in (was it conic goat? Sorry forgot), and you stripped it and dyed it. It came out great! What was the ordering process like? I can't figure out 5* hh, some people say it's kinda thin? I was also...

    Word, makes sense. I appreciate it. I would love to learn more about this especially as I venture into more different styles, leathers, and customization options. Next up after this next order will be the east/west sunrise like @red devil made. Was thinking seal cowhide? Although would love to...
