Thanks for your input. I already have a horse hide jacket (Simmons Bilt) that I really like but it's quite heavy. Therefore I would prefer something lighter.
@MrProper: Thanks for your input. Five Star suggested cape leather as a light alternative to premium goat if i wanted something that has a feeling like cloth. But premium goat might be the better choice. I read somewhere they also have goat leather without "premium" and that this leather is...
Guys I need your help. I finally managed to send my Baracuta G9 jacket (Harrington jacket) to Shawn to duplicate it in leather. Today it arrived at Five Star Leather.
Initially I was thinking seal brown premium goat leather would be the best choice for this jacket but at the moment I am not...
Perfect, thank you for your answer. I also saw an older post from you with very detailled instructions how to customize a Five Star Leather jacket, this is very useful.
One last silly question but Shawn.fivestarleather@gmail.com is the email to request for such special orders, isn't it?

I am considering buying a Five Star Leather jacket as well but I still have some questions.
How do i proceed if I want to order a stock jacket, but wiht modified pockets? I am interested...
Still can't decide which leather to choose... Anyone know what kind of leather "Diesel" is?

@John_Z: thank you for the links. The first one looks somehow suspect, the second one i did find myself while browsing the web.
It looks like I am not the only one, interested in a leather Harrington jacket. Today I got a mail from weargustin.com, they will produce a suede Harrington if they can...
Thank you guys for all replys.
@Fanch: I see your point. I just checked with the Baracuta website, they offer a leather Harrington with raglan sleeves as well as a version with standard sleeves. I think it depends all on the thickness of leather how the jacket will drape and function.

Hi all
thank you for your answers.
First, i know that for some a Harrington jacket in leather is a no go. I am aware of that. I just really like the style/fit of these jackets and having one in leather would be the best of two worlds for me.
The reason I am looking for a European company and...
Hi there
I was searching the internet for information about bespoke/custom leather jackets these days, and many links led to the Fedora Lounge, that’s why I became a member here. I have a specific question und would be very glad if the community could help me out.
