    Did not get it. The maker has been mentioned on TFL once or twice.

    Planning to do a proper review after about a month of active wearing, but here's a teaser!

    Chest size vs Jacket size?

    One thing to consider is the back design. Does the model have shoulder gussets? Full bi-swing back? That will impact how much freedom of movement do you have, especially on a moto. In general I've found this rule on TFL and use it myself : (chest size + 2-3") / 2 = jacket pit-to-pit. For me...

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    @ROOK ALLURES Hey, nice to hear back from you. Guess you haven't received the new one yet? And the one in the PDF is the first one you got that you're not happy with and will be selling? Measurements certainly don't work for me so I'll pass, but I'm sure you'll find a buyer here on TFL. Did...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Cool J-24 copy in FQHH. Size 38 in Portugal: https://www.vinted.fr/items/3504789657-j-24-unbranded-horsehide-leather 225eu. Might go for it myself if I can negotiate the price down, trying to get more measurement info. Most likely still too big for me.

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    TFL has figured out the pros and cons of 5*, including usual pitfalls. One of them is the measurement 'interpretation" in their own favor when doing QC. So I would urge them to do thorough measurement QC before sending out the jacket to you. And yeah their communication is quite sketchy, but you...

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    We have had cases on TFL where someone gets a properly made jacket (in terms of measurements) from 5* only from the 3rd or 4th try - each time something being off enough to reject the jacket from usage. Hope you get yours from your 2nd try. Half price is decent I would say, that's what Shawn...

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    Ouch! I feel you man. Mine was off here and there as well, for example ~51cm pit-to-pit instead of 49cm requested. But it is still wearable (t-shirt only though) and got better and more comfortable after wearing a lot and getting wet a few times. Post some pictures, would still like to see it...

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    Hey @ROOK ALLURES How wrong were they? Did they send QC photos before shipping to you? Your own measurements were very different from the QC photos (5* is known to cheat in this regard). Did you agree with Shawn on a free remake or a discounted one? Or did you send the jacket back?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I'm not convinced it's a highwayman. Highwayman has differently slanted handwarmers and very different back. To me the one I posted seems to be a Route 66 with modified cuffs, removed throat latch and chest pocket. At least that's my take on it.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    @Will Zach Thank you for the Canadian Tuxedo compliment :D I've never owned duck canvas before. The indigo type seems quite rare, does not come up at all with google. Only this IH stuff and N&F. IH does have a "fade gallery" for this fabric though. I could not tell it apart from regular denim...

    Ca Called the shop - they confirmed that the jackets are absurdly small :D no Schott for me!

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Might be tempted to get my first Schott. My sizes in stock. Nice discount. But the sizing seems rather Japanese? 15" shoulders on a 36? Really? Are they measuring from gusset to gusset instead of shoulder seams or something? 18.5" pit-to-pit is also rather extreme.. Again, how are they...
