    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That is an unfortunate experience for sure. Sorry to hear that. Out of curiosity, when did you get your jacket from Five-star?

    Nice jacket @ton312 ! I think FiveStar does remarkable work turning out jackets like this and mine with no "recipe". The fact that it is done so quickly and for a good price is just incredible! @ton312 how much does the jacket weigh?

    Good advice. For these pics, the photographer was me with my phone making due with surroundings at hand. I aspire to better pics, though. Thanks!

    I wonder how those Cossack jackets would look with a main zipper instead of buttons.....does anyone know if that is an available option somewhere (with pictures)? Nice looking jackets in the previous two postings!

    Thanks! I hope the jacket will "relax" or stretch a little anyway. It is more snug than I'm used to but I can layer a T-shirt and thin, cashmere sweater underneath and still get the zipper up without popping a seam

    There is a slight creak when I bend my elbows to the maximum. Otherwise, just walking around, it's a quiet jacket.

    Thanks! The leather is not squeaky. It feels good and is soft enough that breaking in isnt going to be a tough challenge. Just needs regular wear.

    One thing I will add about the jacket that is a bit of a con, also. The inside pocket is horizontally oriented. Due to the snugness of the torso fit there is a bit of conflict between the breast pocket and the handwarmer pocket and the interior pocket on that side. It will straighten out with a...

    Thanks! I need to study the way others here have gotten good pics. Never paid any mind to the mechanics of that. There are some members here who have a knack for taking great selfies.... I'll do better when the rain stops

    Last, a few pics of the jacket while I am wearing it. Sleeves and a (partial) front shot. As I said before, I am no skilled photographer! I hope you enjoyed the review. Cheers!

    So, now, on to some pictures. It is raining here and so no outside shots. Just quick cellphone pics. These start with the "unwrapping" and move through how it looked immediately out of the shipping bag.

    I find this statement very interesting. My knowledge is limited so I am wondering if you or anyone can elaborate on it? What makes a great hide? Do they have local tanneries that are used for these jackets? I thought I saw another comment that horse hide was "back ordered from Brazil" and that...

    Thanks! I requested steerhide and asked for a heavier weight.
