Five Star Leather Jackets

[MrProper]

Stock trucker buttons could be better, it do s not feel sturdy and they break easily. I finished upgrading my buttons to Japanese made ones.

cool, very nice. . I'll change mine again if I find better ones.
I like yours, but the color doesn't match my brown Jacket.

It comes in different color/finishes (raw copper/stone finish/black/silver/shiny bronze) with design of a plain donut or wreath/star, look up the amazon link I sent you. They offer so many great hardware, comes in 14&17mm buttons. I compared the hardware to my tellason jean jackets and they are fairly similar, now thinking of upgrading my old Levi's jackets. They have a nice hefty feel, really built well, clear upgrade.

Edit: they sent samples with the tool to use for the rivet

It's on top of this page, just click on the sellers hyperlink. You'll see what we mean about the hardware when you get your trucker.

Four days, that's rediculous! Nice buttons, are those real horn? Looks solid, but judging from the pictures those handwarmer pockets seem to be falling off the edge. Or is that true to original?

I’m not sure about the buttons tbh. Actually I don’t even know which hide he used. I just asked for the heaviest available. Yeah the hand warmers are massive. It’s based off this Cidu knock off of an rrl:

Bummer, too bad. I hope somebody sells it on a different platform for you guys over there.

Man, that looks pretty cool. All it’s missing is the artificial patina.

I anxiously wait your review.

More pics from Shawn. If this works out I’ll have 50 of his jackets by Christmas.

I don’t even know what hide it is at all. LOL. I took a page out of your book and just asked for “heaviest and thickest” in seal brown. I’m going to go through my files this afternoon and bookmark some vintage half belts that I have been wanting to have built. I’ll wait til this arrives to make final judgment. But this could escalate quickly.

Back of the jacket looks especially nice

He can. I know you have files too. Get ‘em ready!

I have a feeling your garage will be an American Five Star distribution center soon.

Very cool and unique jacket! Well done! It's really amazing how quick their team can get stuff done.

Thanks! I need to study the way others here have gotten good pics. Never paid any mind to the mechanics of that. There are some members here who have a knack for taking great selfies.... I'll do better when the rain stops

Make sure the light is behind the photographer never in front . Indirect lighting works the best
