Five Star Leather Jackets

This is nice too:

See how the little part has a fish-mouth shape? When buttoned all the way up it curves around your neck a bit.

This one has a smaller collar;

This is my design diagram as submitted to Shawn.
And here is a example of a collar I like. Trying for this.

That collar looks great!
Thedi’s collars are much better shaped than Aero’s in my opinion.

I really like the Maxwell collar but for this jacket I think that Thedi collar makes more sense.
Shawn must be fed up with me now, but I’ve told him this is my last requested change. Hopefully he can make a minor adjustment without redoing the pattern.
Thanks for the feedback!

I normally go big collar for the simple reason that you can shape it more since there's more leather to manipulate.

Extremely helpful post- if you could retake these photos, from the same angle standing in the same position, I think a number of us could learn from it even more.

A little too wet and gray the next few days so that might be a little tricky

After shaping the collar

I'm going to use your collar as an example for my next field leathers jacket, if I may

You bet! This collar on the brown cxl one is the best looking for sure. Also check Johnson Leather Instagram page for the del-66 model for close up photo of the collar, I borrowed the collar from that jacket.

Hi,

what you all think about an 5 * A-2 (Werber maybe…) in black deerskin?

The deerskin is quite nice to wear. if you want something comfortable go for it. I like mine. Wait a few days, there should be more deerskin post coming soon

I would love to see Greg venture into beautiful collar shapes with some “presence.”

Is the brown cxl a Johnson Leather jacket?

Seal veg tanned goat. I asked for the thickest available, but based on the seams and folds in the pics, it appears to not be that thick. In contrast, my langlitz goatskin looks a lot thicker, but I’ll confirm on receipt. Also, not sure if I can tell a difference between this veg tanned and his normal or premium seal brown goatskin. I hope I didn’t get the regular one.

2 minor issues are I asked for a buckle side strap with holes and didn’t get it and the underarm gusset is a few inches longer than I would have liked. These issues aren’t enough for me to ask to fix. Overall, it looks very nice and hope it fits.
