Five Star Leather Jackets

I think the jacket looks great. The shoulders look boxy from the back, but won't they relax over time as the jacket breaks in? MrProper - can you send the link to the VLJ description. Thanks

 

with pleasure.

I am waiting for Shawn to confirm the final details, and should be good to go

 

Thanks for sharing this, I am sending it to Shawn now lol

 

"B3 ish" and "A-445ish"

 

The buttons are great! The pockets not yet...Depending on how long you're going:










...not that I've given this style much thought

 

Wow sir!!

 

Damn!! I'm grabbing some of these for my FILE!!!!!!!! That first one is killer!!!! I just wonder about Shawn doing buttons vs. a Zipper....... I keep reading somewhat mixed reviews on the Buttons and Button Hole stitching etc.

 

Shawn is all about “trust” and “honor”

 

Mr. Shawn on Trust :
“Thanks for your trust , I will do accordingly.”
You trust him and he will make Jacket exactly what you want. I’ll post more about his process when my latest jacket arrives next week

 

Darnit @RILO , now you’ve got me going...
I think I have all the pieces figured out for my project... just waiting for samples, and an influx of $$.

 

Please do!

 

We'd love to hear back about your experience man!!! I'm excited to see the result as well!!!

 

What do people think is the best of the dark brown goat hides they offfer? Is it seal brown premium goat? I can't be arsed getting samples.

 

Bugger it. I just ordered a version of this Sears - minus the belt in medium weight premium goat with a dark undertone. Cotton lining - quilted is mostly pointless down here. Always wanted one of these but never liked the belt.

 

For me it’s the semi veg tanned heavy goat (1.2 mm). But I don’t know if something has changed since January.

 

Seb, what is your length? Did you go 27” or 29”. Mine has a taper at the end of the cuff which is a great design- it clears your thumb but covers the out side of the wrist.

The zipper stops just below the beltbuckle, so there is the ability to sit down too. Mine isn’t as boxy as some, I can get you pics and measurements if you’d like (for a 38). Mine was fully belted, with the channel only in the back.

 

Mike, I went with 29 inches as I am six two. I saw on ebay an original size 44 once and it was close to 30 inches at back. Can't wait to see yours, Mike.

I didn't specify the angled sleave cuff. I wondered if it would bother me. I did ask for ton's collar as it has so much flair. So I've gone with a similar jacket rather than goign for a copy. It has the elements I've wanted.

 

I took the dive back in for one more. That'll be it for me for awhile. 3 goats is plenty for the herd. Once Shawn gets his HH back in stock I'm sure I'll do at least one more.

 

"Just when you thought you were out........they pull you BACK IN!!!!!!"

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see the next one man. Your cup runneth over!!!!! 3 Custom jackets in like 2 months just seems so highly self indulgent............ and freakin bitchen!!!! I can't get greener with envy brother!!! And now, we wait......
