    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I don't remember seeing a post where anyone had a blemish this bad in their finished jacket, but I could be mistaken. I did read the whole thread over about 6 months. Hopefully Shawn and Fargham will resolve this issue satisfactorily. I don't want to have to do down the route of going through...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    No worries mate, it is what it is. I knew going in that this could be the potential outcome. Let's just see what the end result is from 5*

    some extra pics. Maybe once the leather relaxes the shoulder issue might become less of an issue.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    No, of course. I understand that for sure. Hopefully they will come to the table with a resolution that I can feel happy about. Ha, thanks mate, 45 today, so am getting to the point where they arent worth celebrating anymore. lol

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I just had a thought that perhaps my right arm is shorter than the other, and the length of the arm being too long might cause the shoulder to act like that, maybe?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think that is a little harsh. I read through the entire 400+ pages prior to making my order. Now, you might think that is naive on my part, but if you actually go through everyone who has used FiveStar, the positive results outweigh the negatives. Also, price vs quality has been shown to be...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Ok, received my jacket yesterday, and opened it about an hour ago here on my birthday. Overall, the jacket is really good for the money. Leather quality is great (aside from the issue ill outline below), construction quality is top notch, and even the fit is pretty much bang on (aside from the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Right. I gave them my measurements, but we settled on using the standard L size pattern for my jacket. There is always going to be tolerances of approx 1" either way when production is complete, so it has again been my experience in the M2M suit game, that going slightly larger is always better...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Fair questions. I sent Shawn a copy of the measurements sheet, both measuring my body, and my current textile bomber jacket I really like, but wanted the leather version to be slightly larger. Based on those measurements, and through a back and forth discussion, Shawn advised me to go with the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Fargham sent me QC pics of my order. Aside from being slightly larger in the chest and waist that I was hoping for (about 1 - 1.5"), it looks great. Ive asked him if there is a process for partial refunds for local alterations, but told him to go ahead and ship it. I have a local custom...

    Thanks for letting me know. That is interesting. Im crossing my fingers that the jacket comes out how I hope it will.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yeah thanks mate! Fingers crossed eh. I went back and forward with Shawn a lot about the sizing, so I hope that it comes in a good size. The other issue is that i didn't specify "premium goatskin" so I hope I didn't **** myself on that. Once it arrives, I'll add it to the thread.

    Alexander Leather Steerhide Cafe Jacket - Fit advice

    When I bought it, it was basically brand new. It didn't have a single crease, it was exceptionally stiff, and it weighs a ton. Honestly, it just wasn't very comfortable to begin with. Now that it is finally starting to ease up, soften a bit, it feels better to wear it casually. I guess I just am...

    Alexander Leather Steerhide Cafe Jacket - Fit advice

    Hi all, Ive owned this jacket for about 2 or 3 years now, and I typically only wear it on my bike., cause im not sure the fit is good for casual wear out and about. I feel like the overall fit is great, aside from feeling that the length feels a little short. All my shirts hang out...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Ive wanted a leather MA-1 bomber for a long time, but I wasn't sure about the pocket flaps and the arm pen pocket. All the modern leather bombers online in the lower price points have all been made of thinner lambskin leather. After a bunch of emails back and forward with Shawn, I settled on...
