Seal Brown Horsehide A-1 from Five Star
Got this from Shawn a few years ago and have only worn it a handful of times. It's exactly what I wanted but I just don't have that much opportunity to wear it so here it is: Seal brown horsehide, olive knits, brown cotton lining, cognac thread, bone buttons. Its labelled a 40 but its a...- Morecowbell

Five Star Leather Jackets
Random FiveStar question: Does anyone know what the standard thread used on an A-2 is in terms of number of plys? I asked Shawn about thread colors and he came back with the same color in 6 ply and 3 ply, and I didn't know that that was an option. There was a particular jacket I asked about...- Morecowbell

First Aero -New aeromarine, short review
I really like the cossack style jackets, and I think the slash pockets are a good call. I keep looking at the Einstein and Mr Freedom Campus jackets, there are interesting similarities and differences in the various designs. I think the leather and fit are great - well done and enjoy!- Morecowbell

Mister Freedom Campus Jacket (Pic Heavy)
I know this is an old thread but I'm fascinated by this jacket - and also the Levis/Einstein/Menlo Cossack. Mark Action's jacket pictured above is pretty amazing. I know its not for everyone but I'm a big fan of the self-aging idea, seems to make it very personal. My only issue is that I need...- Morecowbell

Hmmm, does it not show up on my post? I pasted it in and it's visible to me in my feed so I thought it was there - please let me know if that doesn't work! Here it is again, just in case...- Morecowbell

Who likes vintage tools?
Ooh, ooh! How have I missed this thread? This is a bench I purchased locally (Indianapolis area) about a year ago, had been in a piano factory that started production in the 1870's if I recall correctly. I'm on the fence about restoring it. It has fantastic patina but it could use a 50,000...- Morecowbell

Yes, thank you for posting this detail with the thread color, it looks really good. If you can, please post a larger picture of the front of the jacket, I'd like to see how the thread looks on a larger scale - thanks!- Morecowbell

Five Star Leather Jackets
Hi everyone - Wanted to ask about thread color - to contrast or not to contrast? Can anyone share some contrasting thread examples, thoughts, successes, regrets? I just got samples from Shawn, leather and knits but no thread. I'm looking at doing an A-1 with the seal horsehide and (probably)...- Morecowbell

Five Star Leather Jackets
I'm thinking of doing an A-1 with Shawn, and the only visual thing about the original jacket design that I'm unsure about is the lower snaps on the front closure - they seem vulnerable to paint chipping and somehow look slightly out of place to me, even though I know they're period correct. But...- Morecowbell

Ultimate Leather Conditioner Comparison (on Reddit)
Hi everyone - First post so please be gentle. I just acquired this beast and am trying to figure out what leather conditioner to use on it. Its a Bronco A-2 in pretty rough shape, have been told its HH. I've had one recommendation from a knowledgeable person of a beeswax/carnuba polish...- Morecowbell
