    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you. I am pleased with this one! One day, I hope it ages into something like the HH halfbelt you just posted up thread. I love that look so much! Cheers!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    5* HH pull up brown. Temps heading up so jacket weather might be starting to fade away. @Kenneth Blake per your request to.see this jacket. Cheers!

    Thanks! If you look a few pages back (or search my postings) you can see numerous pics of this jacket. I have deleted them from my phone so the only record now is here. Cheers!

    Couple of shots of the HH pull-up I recently received from 5*. I forgot to specify what fabric in the handwarmer pockets. They put the same wool as is in the body of the jacket. I haven't decided if I like it or not . It's warm but a bit scratchy.

    I just received a reply about tweaking stock jackets. For leather change to HH, $100 upcharge as noted here previously. For changing sleeve length, thread, lining and zippers, no upcharge. Nice that they will allow basic mods to the jackets with no charge.

    I'm glad you've had such a great experience. If you have read this thread all the way through, you will see context that is important to understand the ebb and flow of 5* communications. If you are going full custom, they are simply not communicative at all by prior 5* standards. If you are...

    Good news for you. Good luck! Is 5* upcharging for these types of tweaks to their stock jackets?

    Hi. I just went with what was on 5* customizations page and asked for the "pullup HH". It was a roll of the dice but I like the final product quite a bit. Your jackets look great! I wish that 5* offered a midnight blue HH option. That might tempt me in for a final go...or oxblood...I'd like...

    Looks great!! How long does the Vaseline treatment seem to last when you've done it previously? For me, my HH jacket has just enough shine, I guess from their in-house waxing treatment? I'm pretty happy with it altogether. This should hold me for now....maybe rest of the year. I hope all the...

    Sorry to hear that but if you've read this thread in recent weeks, you will understand that this is typical now. I speculate that "Shawn" is now any number of people for whom English is a Second (or latter) Language who are involved in 5* leather company taking turns responding. The kind of...

    Yes. More than one of us here has asked Shawn to up his photo game in that regard. IMHO, his while website needs updating and freshening up.

    I think i posted some other HH pics/description a few pages back. There are a lot of variations in the hides that Shawn has these days. Give my posts a search and you'll see what i mean. A couple of months ago, Shawn sent me (poor quality) pics of about 25 variations on his hides: red, blue...

    Shawn told me 1.2mm thickness on this HH. On my scales, the jacket is about 4 pounds in weight. I'd say it's similar in weight to the Premium goat jacket but I'll heft them side by side and see. I'm just glad this jacket doesn't hurt to wear :)

    I appreciate the kind words from you and others. I like the jacket, it's warm with the wool lining in the body and the quilted in the sleeves. there will need to be just a bit of break-in I think but mostly this jacket just feels nice right out of the box. Temps are dropping starting tonight so...

    Here are some fit pics. Poor quality, I know. But you can see for yourself how the jacket drapes. Cheers!

    Another 5* win for you! We both got nice jackets for sure. Well done!!

    Jacket looks really nice. I wish I had some prior experience with the brands of HH you've mentioned and I could tell you right off if the 5* is close. Hopefully, you guys with your vast experience will be pleased. I like the jacket and feel like it has scratched that HH "itch" for me. Anyway...

    I can't wait to see what you end up with! Hopefully, you will think well of the HH. As this is the first HH jacket for me, I don't have anything else to compare. Seems like a nice jacket all around. I had only a brief time with it yesterday due to other commitments. I hope to spend more time...
