    Five Star Leather Jackets

    It's here. Pictures shot in late afternoon, no direct light but outside. No fit pics atm. This is a nice jacket and very wearable. Collar and lapel folds need some training. It weighs about 4 pounds but is soft and supple. Smells good. Feels good. It's the first HH jacket I've had and a nice...

    That looks great and I really like the idea of the "fur" liner. It's not zip-out is it? Well done!

    Me, too! Right now, it's chillin' in Cincinnati, per DHL tracking. Hopefully they will deliver sooner than this coming Friday. I'll keep you all posted. Cheers!

    DHL update says coming in to Miami customs by way of London. 2/18 is predicted delivery date. I'm hoping they surprise me with sooner Shawn says 1.2mm HH thickness which is close to the Premium Goat, IIRC.

    This incoming HH jacket is #4 for me. At present, I am 1 for 3 so this is probably going to be my last, at least for the time being, from 5*. The first (a year ago or so) was a steerhide that is super squeaky...not exactly plasticky...but some sort of top coating that chips off leaving a sort...

    This goes back to having an updated website. If he accurately represented his wares and the available customizations, I would bet stupid question volume would drop by 80%. As far as thick leather for jackets, it's niche yes. The problem is two fold: end user won't know what they will actually...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Maybe. But if for no other reason than their own sanity (and mine!), 5* should be updating their website. There is just a huge knowledge gap between what they might have/do have/will have and what they can/can't do.... I have bought several jackets from them previously and even I had to ask...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah, I'm (nervously) awaiting seeing it in natural light. The various pictures Shawn has sent me have been all over the place, color-wise. Fingers crossed that it will be a good, wearable jacket that looks great. Pretty sure this will be my last 5* for now. Maybe revisit in the summer to see...

    Now, the waiting begins. DHL, don’t let me down!

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    this is a custom job from 5* which is based on the Thedi Hektor style of jacket. @ton312 this is supposed to be the “pull up” HH, not distressed. At least, that’s what Shawn’s description of is…..in case that matters to you for your project. Cheers!

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Hey. So we are getting the same pattern, but the two different HH brown options. Will be interesting to see the difference between them. Fingers crossed for great results for us. edit: did you get any info on thickness of the hides? I can not get an answer on this but not for a lack of trying...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Question: how problematic is it to cut off (?) or otherwise remove the epaulets and belt loops from a crosszip moto jacket? I'm thinking about picking up an inexpensive version of the classic, black leather moto jacket but already know that I don't care for the above portions that are usually...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    wait. You sent him the leather as much as one year ago with no jacket so far? You are more gracious than I would be. I would sever all ties over that and never do business with that company again. so, my choice is to either pay the invoice and hope for the best (again) or bail. I’m going to sit...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @Canuck Panda Thanks for your thoughts. So, the jacket in question, that I was sent an invoice for, is a remake of my CHL in a different hide. Shawn, et. al. and I have been “discussing” for maybe a month. I’ve simply been trying to get some pics and a couple of clarifying questions answered...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Another example of the 5* communication issues. You know as much as I do about it. **shrug** It took a week for me to get even that little explanation from them and I could not get anything else. I'm happy to spend my money with them but not if I have no idea what I'm gonna get in return.
