    Five Star Leather Jackets

    So I just got QC pics from my cossack with the different sleeve attachment.Curved sleeves.And more room in the lining. The pics show some of the usual tape manipulation but I will see They went overkill with my add a bit more space in the lining lol. I only fear that the button hole of the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I have a feeling that the Pakistani have different meanings for known leather types . CHL=Crazy Horse Leather/Any leather infused with waxes and oils Pull up leather= Leather that changes color due to oils,wax top coat or paint top coat . Is the core of the pull up leather lighter/different...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    If you pull your finger along the inside seam of the collar ( behind the lining where the collar and neck opening meet ) Do you feel a continuous edge or are there ridges/slits cut ?

    That seam is flat and it looks "uncut" . Maybe soak it in water and bend it /work it back and forth to bend a curve into it . Wear it and grap the inner side of the sleeve and tug it down and forward . Soak the whole shoulder area and work it. I would not write it off. The CHL / Crazy Hide...

    That's not a u boat jacket(wested) It's a reefer coat and Shawn has a exact replica of a vintage original on his site .Ask him for pictures of the real one .

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Someone messed up while copying the pattern of the original. The neck area has no inward curve to it . The collar is sometimes pre stitched and then get slits cut into it while sewing the neck curve (3 layers of leather ).However the old original jacket was probably stretched and heavily worn ...

    Can you post a fit pic with the collar flipped up ? And one with the jacket laying flat with the collar flipped up .I think I know what the "patternmaker" did in order to "archive" this interesting result .

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    To be honest the jacket rising up with the sleeves looks a lot like a wine cork remover. If the chance of the sleeve "axis" changes that then I am baffled because that Idea was mentioned like 300 pages ago and was completely disregarded

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I would put some oil on it and then spray it down with water .Put on a few sweaters or zip it up with a pillow of your back .Try to mold the shoulders in order to get the jacket to sit lower .The curve of the shoulders is too high . I wouldn't write it off to quick . The jacket rising when doing...

    I just ordered a second cossack in black with more leeway for their pattern makers and will see if it changes anything. My all weather halfbelt has perfect mobility . Full range of motion and the jacket doesn't rise up . My cossack however is the complete opposite. I think the lining in my...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The thing about messing up measurements comes from rushing or misinterpreted body shapes . They try to match the most important measurement to a existing size and pattern and then modify accordingly. My all weather halfbelt has a 43-44 shoulder and my cossack has a 47-47 shoulder even though I...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I mean I do understand Tonys view on five star after "burning" a lot of money on them . Five star is a bit of a roller coaster of emotions.You get excited because you have the creative freedom of replicating a very expensive jacket or inventing your own without questioning yourself about price...
