    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This morning, I received an email from Shawn that my newest jacket is done and ready to ship. What did I think of the pictures? To be honest, some pictures made me quite happy and a couple others not so much. One in particular may be a show stopper. Pictures of several other parts of the jacket...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    1. I like the jacket and it seems to me that the construction is well done (stitching, etc.). 2. Agreed that the back is off and the explanation seems plausible with the attached pictures of the original jacket back. 3. If that picture of the original is what was used for @red devil inspiration...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    My experience with pricing for leather jacket(s) is as costly as $330. Including shipping to US. It's $30 for customizations of any sort that they have on offer and $30 for shipping via DHL, in a bag. Therefore, you should be able to calculate a bit with that and your sizing as the larger the...

    Shawn has told me that they do offer HH but it will be unavailable for quite sometime.

    It's best practice to specify as many details as possible. This will make sure you get exactly what you want. As discussed in other 5* threads here, leaving anything to chance may result in some surprises.

    Schott 141 CR question

    Yeah, I went there and no chat available right now. Left a message for them. I definitely don't want a tent!

    Consider specifying the actual height of the knit portion as well.

    Schott 141 CR question

    Thanks all. I'm 6', 201lb, 45" chest. I was wondering if size 44 vs 46 would be the ticket. I have a chance to purchase a size 44 but...I'm wondering how the chest would actually measure on that. if a size 40 has p-t-p of 24" then that would mean a size 44 would be much bigger.

    Schott 141 CR question

    Does anyone happen to have any experience with this particular jacket, in cow/steer hide? I'm wondering about how the fit is, in a given size. Specifically, with all the talk on TFL about patterns and how they fit, I'd appreciate it anyone with direct experience with this jacket as a regular...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Has anyone received a 5* jacket with the new/improved mfg tag? I've seen a picture of a mockup but not the actual new tag yet. Wondering if it's officially in the wild.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I hear what you are saying and i get where you are coming from. I would just say this: 5*, according to Shawn, has over 100 employees and works with other brands making jackets. It seems like a pretty good size operation if that is the case. Perhaps there are times when communications fail...

    Squeakage!

    Does the squeaking ever go away on its own? Short of wearing the topcoat off?

    Because I didn't want it buried. I just wanted to know if the guy is working this week. I can delete the thread, if it's an eyesore for you.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'd been emailing with Shawn last week about another new jacket. I sent him some revisions on the idea last Sunday and since then...nothing. Usually, I hear back from him in 1-2 days. I checked to see if there were any holidays going on in Pakistan but there do not appear to be any. I also...

    When i emailed Shawn a week or so ago, he said horse hide is about a year away. I hope that turns out to be overly pessimistic.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    When you talk about adding, do you mean your body measurement for each area plus 3-4"....so if my chest is 45", plus 4" gives 49" divided by 2, thus ask for a pit to pit of 24.5"?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I also want a cafe racer from Five-star. I'm struggling with measurements though. My previous jacket from them fits tighter unless I have only light T-shirt or wool shirt underneath. I would like to be able to layer a t-shirt and sweater under the CR without it being too baggy overall. Are you...
