    Where to go for specific leather jacket?

    After reading reviews of five star I am greatly discouraged. Surely there's somewhere I could get a leather jacket copied for under $1K?

    Where to go for specific leather jacket?

    That's what I'm planning on doing. A lot of the guys here are super snobbish ("well, you might as well pay 1K, anything less will be utterly worthless!) but I just... don't have 1K to spend on a jacket. Maybe when I'm 35 and actually have a good salary, but as a college student it's just...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This is exactly what I asked them if I could do. I'm a little worried that they could still mess it up (see: complaints on measurements). You think they do a good job copying, though? I worry a lot, because $350 is a lot of money one way or the other. I'd really love for this to work out...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Hi folks, I am looking at getting a totally custom job from them. There are a lot of posts in the thread and so I'm not sure where to start with reviews. I have a current vintage jacket that has details I want, and I intend to measure certain parts of it to make sure every detail is correct...

    Where to go for specific leather jacket?

    1K for a jacket just seems excessive.

    Where to go for specific leather jacket?

    Basically- where can I go to get this exact jacket replicated? It is mine but the collar is worn thru in places and I'm frankly afraid to wear it any more. It has a rather specific cut, and some unique details like the ring side adjusters, snap cuff adjusters, and the overall cut. I don't have...

    WTB: Cyclist Leather Jacket, sz 37 ish

    WANT TO BUY: Another leather jacket like this! This is German with Zipp zippers, made in the early 50s. Plain back, two ring waist adjusters, adjustable snaps on the cuffs. I'm about a size 36/37. Will take a little larger. Thanks!

    Looking for a Mackinaw fabric

    I am seeing about having a coat made as well. Most catalogs of the era list 30 oz as "heavy", and 28 oz. Is 24 oz okay for a coat?

    Leather Jackets With Ties

    I guess. But a normal shirt from Darcy will work fine. IMHO spearpoints are greatly over-represented today.

    Leather Jackets With Ties

    I sure like it. 1950-1952 German leather jacket, 1930s tie, late 1920s pants, modern Darcy shirt, early 1940s Stetson (which I have since sold). As with anything, it works best when worn with vintage.

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    From the early 1920s :) No mention of robbery but they were sold

    WTB 1920s STYLE Fedora in 7 1/2

    Well, yes, they are soft hats with a crown that can be re-shaped and a brim that will curl up slightly or snap down is desired.

    WTB 1920s STYLE Fedora in 7 1/2

    Hi, looking for a more narrow brim fedora that would fit a 1920s look. Attached are some family photos and catalog pages showing roughly what I'm looking for- though I don't wish for a Homburg. I'm a size 7 1/2. I really don't care if this hat was made in the 1970s, yesterday, or anything, so...

    WTB: Homburg, Size 7 1/2

    Looks like a good one, I may buy it. Thank you!

    WTB: Homburg, Size 7 1/2

    I am looking to buy a black, gray or navy Homburg in size 7.5. Age doesn't matter but I would like it to be able to fit an early 20th century look as pictured. Thank you!
