Thank you, looks fantastic! It's a really good price for that quality. I think I know what am I going to order next after I'm breaking in a bit my other one

It will be a welcome change to slip into a deerskin after breaking in a cxl jacket. World of difference in terms of weight/feel/mobility. Perfect for spring and summer so just by the time you fully break in your Aero
Same as...thanks for giving me the idea with your deerskin Trucker posts..should be great come Spring / Summer
Looks great! The lining and the buttons look much better than the ones in stock trucker
I'm sure of that, I will clearly need a lighter jacket for warmer days
Even if the conditions weren't the best for photos, I took a few.
The vest with the new shearling is a dream. Wear them in the house when it's a little cooler
The new shearling is a bit more curly and the color is slightly darker. Super. Just to cuddle in and feel good.
There seems to be a little less top coat on the outside than on the previous one. Feels even better with it.
Fit exactly how I wanted it. It is now rather tight to wear something underneath, but if the shearling is a little flatter, it works. And a thin Deerskin jacket should come anyway.
The processing is perfect for me, but I'm not that critical either.
I can only recommend this to anyone who likes shearling.
LOL at the last pic.Even if the conditions weren't the best for photos, I took a few.

Shearling jackets are pretty cool. Never gets cold enough here to justify one as I’d never wear one, but I admire the worksmanship and details of them. Very cool.

Incredible. Considering the vests they have on their site, this is a huge improvement. Fits just right too, splitting the back into top and bottom panels worked very well.
When you raid the southern lands remember to include me, though I'll have to come bare chested because I don't have anything as cool as that vest.

Shawn told me they have horsehide now but in limited supply and are reserving it for the Dubow jackets only.
I never thought of a shearling vest before....your pictures have me strongly considering one now. I think its awesome, perfect for a Canuck like me!
Hey, while I've got you....you seem to know as much as anyone about 5* leather around here. Do you know if any are drum dyed?
scroll down to the pictures of the tanning facility, they seem to have a leather drum ^^

At their prices I bet they will, cockpit usa used to sell a man's vest like this one at 850$ and they currently sell a women's version with a hood at 1150$. Five star prices with TFL designs is something to watch out for.
The large collar with the clasp and the side straps give it enough flair for a night out, certainly not an old man exclusive. The only thing missing is weather cold enough to wear one.

yes, the stock buttons are not up to standard. It will just lower the face value of the superb leather they use
it’s a great deerskin. Cant wait to see what you come up with

Here is 5*'s new non distressed buffalo 1.3-1.4mm. He hasn't made any jackets from yet but its tempting. Grain looks good, colour looks good.
