    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The picture I posted is horrible.It looks way different in real life.I will post a better picture. The main complaint for me is the very thin leather and lining. I have not checked any measurements yet

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I know the owner of cidu and have videos of their production .Their production is pretty clean .It is not a sweatshop.I told him to stop buying hides from India and focus on Americans tanneries for the Western marked .

The noble house was my first okay jacket and the schott is well made but I...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think I am getting nauseous because of the fumes .Holy shit . Also the leather on the front feels like a their goat leather.It has that foamy spongy feel but it has the look of steerhide. I have never seen goat with fake steer print but I have bought leather bags from China that had a mix of...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    They also didn't add the second button on the cuff . I was hoping all the negative reviews recently were blown out of proportion but I see why this thread was getting bitter.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I am still going to wear it since it is my size and I have had good luck shaping and stretching it to a comfortable fit and decent look . I am sitting here inhaling the fumes of the wax and I am getting light headed and dizzy.It could be because of it lol

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The leather is thin and the lining as well .They used the "good" leather on the pockets but the chest area is very thin .The brown one weighs probably twice as much .This one is like a costume.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The thing I don't get is why the armholes are shaped that way .I requested a different attachment of the sleeve/ less angled down .It seems like they started the process and halfway through abandoned it and went back to normal. The angle seems to be the same as on my brown one. The shoulder seam...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The collar is very uncomfortable because some idiot thought it was a good idea to glue both pieces of leather together to make a less floppy collar. However it is uncomfortable because it doesn't shape or bend so I guess I will need to separate both pieces somehow...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    As you can see the shoulder seam moved a few cm forward for no apparent reason and the pockets are longer because they forgot that the jacket on their website and now printed in the catalog is my custom order where I requested shorter pockets like on the heron. So they don't keep any Infos about...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The hide has a slight chemical smell but that is from the waxing process.I have videos from a different factory how they wax their jackets.It feel slightly sticky .I usually use snow seal of my five star jackets so this should be a similar thing. I will wear it and make a decent review hopefully lol

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Short overview. Two jackets Same style Slightly different measurements/new measurements are from the broken in jacket. Different color Here is the catch One feels like a knockoff. I didn't asked for a heavy duty hide or heavy duty lining but if that is the standard without requesting a...

    Is this Horse Hide from 5 *?

    I think someone is either deceiving customers or his employees are getting worse .This is the QC my jacket and I have the suspicion that they accidentally made the collar from horsehide.Their horsehide looks more flat when new and has a different sheen I think.

    Hooked on jackets? Why?

    For me it is the fact that these things have a sort of consistency in quality and reliability . As someone on "the spectrum" I hate low quality or replacing things. Leather jackets are sometimes made like back in the good old days when products actually lasted a while . Also I don't see why you...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    You know I had two companies lie and defraud me and I see them travel constantly to some Islamic place or ritual what so ever posting Allah is great. And making probably some of the most haram clothes that I could think off .And showing/sending me more pictures of their pants with "detachable"...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I wrote them that knowing their QC process that I am suspicious of that pocket because it is also unbuttoned.The left one looks pulled to one side . I wouldn't mind it if it looks okay buttoned up but something looks rushed to me about the whole thing.I will see if they reply. Shawn if you...
