    Goldtop RAF Flying Jacket opinions

    Not liking either, I’d be trying to pick up a used Eastmans or Aero or waiting until 5* get one in production.

    Post Brexit import experiences

    Had some slip through the net and been hit a bit harder with others including handling charges...paying a bit more overall for higher value items thus far than pre-Brexit but still very doable in my case.

    Waxed canvas ... how does it wear?

    I’ve just purchased a used Drizabone knee length drovers coat. Wore it out once in the rain and got soaked, spent a few hours as a consequence last week re-proofing it with Barbour dressing and a sponge. Going to use it for getting about in downpours especially when walking the dog. Had the same...

    Shoulder cape replacement -Outback duster

    Just finished proofing a used Drizabone duster recently acquired, the cape part is sewn on. Looked up Outback Trading Co, nice products. Googled Oilskin and see you can buy it on-line, if you can’t replace the cape by other means would it be possible to buy the material and get a local tailor to...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I keep a small wallet in my front pocket where it doesn’t attract attention. A small wallet is also useful because currently in the UK because most places I use commercially don’t / won’t deal in cash because of the risk of C-19 transmission & want contactless card transactions. I only carry a...

    I use Facebook messenger and when he’s on-line we get consistent dialogue. It’s the only medium I now use with Shawn, email took a lot longer.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Going Tan goat suede, type 3 design same as the black deerskin jacket, inch less pit to pit (won’t be layering) and an inch shorter in body (mostly worn open). Snap fasteners, no side pockets & unlined to cut down further on weight....almost a suede shirt :-)

    Currently ordering type 3 trimmer (inspired by yourself & Mr Proper)/ unlined for summer, wouldn’t have a jacket on with your temps though

    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    My latest from 5* in deerskin, vintage brass buttons courtesy of my Father. Got a Tan goat suede custom one being made very soon too.

    Leather Western Overshirt

    You gave me the idea of a Western shirt with that shirt / jacket. Hopefully unlined will work in goat suede 0.80 mm

    Leather Western Overshirt

    I’m currently looking with 5* at a short fit unlined tan goat suede type 3 ‘Trucker’ shirt / jacket for the summer. Brass donut Snap fasteners rather than buttons too. It will mainly be worn open over a T shirt so width / length measurements down slightly on my recent black deerskin Trucker jacket.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I’ve found 5* generally spot on, my latest jacket was exactly the specified numbers. Yours does look an easy fix to my eye :-)

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yep..looks 3.5 to me from your pic & you say you had the jacket buttoned & flat. On my first 5* jacket my measurements didn’t completely correspond with their photographed ones, jacket worked though. Yours is a cool looking jacket, once the UK opens up again I’ve an Eastmans jacket that is...
