    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Finalized my modified 1930’s half-belt in heavy veg-tanned seal goatskin. Shawn was a pleasure to deal with and I second the advice of sending detailed pictures of exactly what you want. Will post pics when it arrives. Here is my final spec sheet: *Vegetable tanned seal goatskin (thickest...

    Schott's new blue line

    That blue is a little too bright for me. I would only consider a midnight dark blue.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    I feel leather jackets should fit like tailored suit jackets. It’s rare if I can get just the right fit, bc I have a 9in chest to waist drop. Jacket makers have to build a jacket that fits most, so even if I get a slim fit jacket, it’s usually too tight in the chest and arms. I’ve always had...

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    I’ll only ever buy jackets based on its measurements. It would be nice if jacket makers included shoulder opening and bicep widths too. Low arm holes and baggy sleeves, in my opinion, can make a jacket look sloppy.

    LOOKING FOR: Ship John Wills jacket in XL

    I would go for the slate. Was never a big fan of the tan..always looked a little too workwear for me. You could also sell the slate for a profit if it doesn’t work out since it’s a limited color.

    Ship John Black Goatskin Wills Jacket, Med long

    If it was an in shorter, I would probably keep it. Thought about sending it to Deena to shorten, but then I think the pockets will look too low.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Does anyone know how Shawn measures the shoulder width? It’s usually straight across, but on his website, it shows it measured on a curve? Just finishing the specs for my first 5* jacket.

    Ship John Black Goatskin Wills Jacket, Med long

    Jacket is just too long for me. Purchased from forum member for $1000 and looking to get $900 for it shipped. There is some light indigo staining in the armpit area from I’m assuming one of the previous owners wearing raw denim shirts. The white cotton lining doesn’t help with concealing...

    Lightweight leather

    It’s tanned in Italy but don’t know from which tannery. It’s not really water resistant, bc I believe it’s either full or semi-aniline tanned.

    Lightweight leather

    The Bainbridge leather from Thurston is a light to mid weight leather that’s a good option. My aero original hercules size 38 weighs in at 4.2lbs.

    Thedi now has a website!

    Anyone have issues with communication because of language barrier? I inquired about them making a jacket I found on their Instagram but wasn’t on their website. The response I received was kind of jumbled and contradicted itself. It was very cordial, but I’m just concerned that there will be...

    Vanson Z150 vs. X150

    Got my competition weight Oxford jacket 6 months ago and it looks the same as the pictures above. It definitely appears to be sanded down and has a type of finish applied to it. I don’t believe a “grain” is printed or embossed on it bc the hair follicle holes are larger than on full grain...

    N1 Deck Jacket Fit Check

    Arms seem a little bulky. I would size down 1 or find a brand with slimmer cut arms.
