    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Here is a brief update and some fit pictures. In general, the jacket turned out great. It's a beast weighing in at 7.4lb (3.36kg), its stout but I would not call it stiff. The leather is pliable but it's thick so some movements may need a tad more effort. I actually did a 30 min kettle bell...

    Ok Gents, The CHL jacket arrived today and it is a major disappointment. - First off, it took 3 business days to get from Sialkot to the US west coast. I was expecting an overnight service. -second, the CHL leather is so soft that I was able to do a 30min weight routine without any major...

    Thanks @Nalazo . So it started as a total joke to try accelerating breaking in of the jacket. But after few workouts, G1 turned out to be the most comfortable top cover. It's warm, but not too hot, it completely shields the wind and in the rain, it feels breathable while keeping you dry. The...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Funny you ask ;-) Five Star G1, goat, standard seal brown finish. To my eye, the top coat looks like an acrylic finish with, possibly, a sealant at the very top. No color running or bleeding in my experience. Their pullup horse hide and steer hide seem to have a non acrylic looking finish...

    Now if the artisans in Pakistan could assemble a perfect replica of The Purdey-Beesley side by side, that would be a day to celebrate.

    @hughesovka this is a gorgeous jacket! Btw, is the horsehide chrome tanned?

    I vaguely remember. It was almost 3mm thick, right? Could be perfect if one has an urge to hug a cactus.

    Thank you for the feedback and suggestions @Aloysius . The jacket certainly looks good in the picture. I should find out how it wears in 2 weeks or less. Btw, what is the SXL leather?

    I did. I don't mind a stiff jacket. Also, this is a new 2mm CHL which is supposed to be softer then the original 2.2mm previously offered. Anyhow, I still think Ton312's brown half belt suit of armor jacket is the most memorable garment I've seen in the last decade ;-)

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    They offer 2mm CHL leather in black and brown. The jacket was $350 plus shipping, so there is an additional cost for the leather and custom work. Thank you for the tip about using the shoe stretchers to loosen the wrist. It's 5" when zipped so hopefully it will not be necessary.
