Five Star Leather Jackets

I think they tried their best to stitch that cxl leather .I noticed softer leather looks more simetrical but often has unregular Stitching because the thread sinks in unevenly.
Stiffer leather has neat stich density but the hide always tries to fight you while stitching it .They even marked the top stich for the zip but the hide wasn't cooperating and kept bending up which would not happen with goat . Quite a lot of the top tier brands use a lot of glue and tape and skiving to prevent that .
They need more practice.
It looks quite good to me

I think you should be fine with those measurements around the shoulders.
I like how the cuffs look by the way, first I wanted to go for a similar look on my design but I'll go for a button sort like the inspiration jacket.

I think that this is not the case, he just didn't loop the strips around the buckle I think.
Unfortunately I don't have those pics. I wouldn't worry too much. I have found that the pics I receive and the actual item often don't have much in common and the things I worry about from his pics don't materialize in person.

It seems the same as my half-belts, see the difference in the leather strip:
this is the "correct way":
and I think this is what you see in SHawn's photo:
Or maybe I don't quite understand?

it is your jacket so you know better!
But if you want the buckles to be the same as an Aero half belt for example, then I think they are correct.
It seems a wonderful jacket so consider it well whether this will be a deal-breaker for you!

I thought exactly the same, if @Hh121 wants to loop it around the buckle then he was to use a pair of pliers... and all his muscle strength!

I am now thinking if it worth the struggle to fix that, it could leave bad stich holes etc.....

Thanks and I think YOU FORGOT YOUR CAPS-LOCK ON.

Is the buckle in this photo the way you actually want it??
I think it’s right but they should have fed the straps through differently. The strap (yellow arrow) should be fed through with the buckle side (green arrow) then over the buckle bar.
