Hi friends,

I’ve been lurking and browsing the forum posts because I think leather jackets are very stylish and cool! I decided to purchase my first leather jacket and after some cursory research, I thought Fivestarleather is a good choice for a budget starter option. I went ahead and placed my order back in mid February, and got an email yesterday that my jacket is ready to ship. They sent me a few pictures of the finished product. I was wondering if these two long marks on the jacket are normal? I apologize ahead of time for my lack of knowledge.

My Vanson in competition weight has simular scars ....I king of like it ( it adds character) .

Creases and folds ain't the same thing as scars or striations.

Where do those come from? Sewing machine?

Pretty new to leather jackets, and I'm thinking about ordering a custom from Fivestar. I want a jacket that fits me personally, and I like their black hides well enough from the photos.

The jacket I'm picturing is basically an Aero sheene, but with the hem of a highwayman (the horizontal stitch line just above the bottom) without the sidebuckles. And a slight, 10° angle to the chest pocket. Hopefully this goes well!

@codex Hope it goes well yeah, although I'd say the odds are stacked against you. At the end of the day it all depends on your standards and what you find appealing or acceptable. Please do report here once you get it so that others can have more examples of what to expect when ordering from 5* in 2025.

It would probably go a lot better if you ordered the Aero jacket you want from Aero.

As soon as you start talking about a 10 degree angle I know you will be disappointed by anything you get from five star lol.
