Five Star Leather Jackets
how would I "rate" Five Star? well, if a normal person who loves leather jackets, military aviation, vintage clothing, etc. wants a quality custom made jacket that looks super and is well made, then it is perfectly reasonable to say that normal enthusiastic jacket wearers need look no further...- CBI

"exit jacket"
My exit jacket was/is a nice well-worn original Roughwear A-2 jacket. I was done. .............one day I was curious to see what Five Star Leather was up too, looked on their FB page and saw some awesome looking hide so i thought, well $250 is pretty reasonable for one more jacket. So my Five...- CBI

Looking for a "buy it for life" A2
easy......Good Wear! if you don't want to wait....Eastman either through HPA or directly from ELC. No need to pay the extra for Japanese brands that are not any better and in fact are sometimes "overdone". They often look too pretty.- CBI

Five Star Leather Jackets
yes, I think the basic A-1 price as something like $160-175, I didn't ask. I DID ask for horn buttons, premium steerhide, etc and with DHL from Pakistan to the US, etc, all totaled $250. I inquired about a women's extra small A-2 for my daughter and it was $210 shipped with premium seal...- CBI

Five Star Leather Jackets
I think Five Star continues to make some rapid progress on their jackets. Based on jackets posted and on their FB page, there is a big difference in what they can offer now vs. say a year ago. Their higher end hides are the way to go and I know Shawn is working on new quality hides at a low...- CBI

What's your definition of a "vintage" leather jacket?
for me "vintage" means old, 30 or more years old. if its a "new" jacket like an Eastman or Aero then its a "vintage style" jacket- CBI
