I have been reading the start of this thread. It seems people's Five Star experiences vary.
I received my Amelia Earhart/ Mr Popper jacket last week. (July 2022)
Premium 1.2mm goat in seal brown.
Its very dark almost black in colour.
The leather is soft and a little squeaky after a week, wearing a lot around the house. I am very happy with it and at $190 plus post I thought a very good price.
The jacket has 2 horn buttons nice but I wouldn't upgrade to them.
The collar and cuffs are fine but time again would upgrade to wool.
I like the cotton lining. Time again I might change colour of liner and use contrasting stitching, cuffs/waistband
One thing I have learnt is sleeves with cuffs need to be 0.5 inch longer than jackets without cuffs. When worn you lose 0.5 inch.
My Waldo Pepper is tagged 44 and EH/Mr P 46. The pockets on the WP are slightly smaller. Time again I might spec that size however the pockets I have look good and in proportion.
I highly recommend buying a Five Star stick to stock sizing with minor tweaks imho unless you know what you are ordering.
