is that urdu? maybe he is concerned westerners who he sells his jacket to would think its arabic and only see connotation it brings especially when it is written in white over black ribbon or patch.چمڑا
I tried to get Shawn to emboss something simple
Like the above into a leather tag at the neck. I believe this simply states “leather”.
He didn’t go for it. I think it would be so authentic but….what do I know.
I like the whimsy of your designs too.

It puts the lotion in the basket…It means ’skin’, haha, usually with the connotation of human skin like saying a slim person is “skin and bones”. That’s probably why.
You know it brother, hey these things are supposed to be sportswear right? We went down to our shooting range for some target practice today and i took some better fit pics in natural lighting.

What wrist width did you request for this? I ask because all my 5*s have very tight forearm/wrist areas. I’ve stretched them a bit but never seem to ask for enough material there.
I would say be glad it's soft and not hard as cardboard like the old CHL leather.Ok Gents, The CHL jacket arrived today and it is a major disappointment.
- First off, it took 3 business days to get from Sialkot to the US west coast. I was expecting an overnight service.
-second, the CHL leather is so soft that I was able to do a 30min weight routine without any major problems. I was hoping for the jacket itself to be a workout just by being worn. Well, that's not happening.
-The grain of the leather seems varied and full of strange patterns. I was hoping for something more uniform and generic.
-The color is not pink enough.
Anyhow, here are 2 pictures, I'll post more when the spite towards the jacket subsides and we can both move on. View attachment 485414 View attachment 485415
Really? Ok, on the sarcasm ear I hear nothing ;-)(He's being sarcastic, guys.)

@vmbarrera
Looks solid, hope to see some natural light and fit pictures once it arrives.
Did you ask to get the goatskin waxed up? I've ordered a button up half belt and asked for black waxed premium goatskin after seeing this photo (which totally sold me on the waxed version):

Great, let me know how it goes. Btw, as already mentioned in this thread, when you put in a custom order with Five Stars, spec as many dimensions as you can. They are very good at replicating but don't necessarily think like tailors.I just sent this to Shawn to see what he says. This is definitely going to be my next jacket from Five Star. Hopefully as close as possible as to the Aero Trail Rider prototype here. In the same brilliant brown steer that @MotionDesign just got for his stunning new jacket. Also wondering if anyone knows if Shawn has any decent belt buckles besides the rinky dink ones he has on a lot of his jackets?
I have a G1 in seal brown goat. I like it although the finish had a plastic feel in the beginning but improved over time. I also used the jacket during outdoor workouts which sped up the breaking in process ;-)Hello All,
If anybody has had any experience with both the Goat Skin and Horsehide in seal brown. Can I get your opinion on what the major differences are and which hide you prefer the A2 in? Thank you in advance.
Cheers.
