Five Star Leather Jackets

That looks great! I love the back!

 

Ok, so almost ready to go for it, I am going for russet veg tan goat, it is apparently at about 1.2mm which sounds good. For the thread, I will go for beige as I want some contrast. And the zipper will be size 10 antique brass.

Last question: which liner is good? Is the cotton twill sturdy and functional?

Edit: made the whole post more readable lol

 

I have the "heavy" satin polyester in one jacket and the drill in the other....the drill is far better. The one I have incoming has quilted nylon...I can update on that one as well but I suspect the heavy cotton drill is the best one.

 

Thanks! I will simly go for red cotton

 

that looks pretty darn good..........congrats!

Again, for the price, custom to your size, quick service, after being worn hard for a year..............................

 

Cool jacket and the back is beautiful.
Only the boxy shoulders are an issue on 5 * jackets. When ordering, it doesn't hurt to point this out. I once sent Shawn a link to the VLJ describing how to prevent those boxy shoulders. I will always send it again with every order.

 

Clean canvas!!
Thank you Ton312

 

I like the looks of that so far!

 

I'm looking forward to seeing your russet veg tan goat. I have a modified moto jacket in black premium goat on the way and had Shawn put in a black rayon liner. Amazing the level of customization 5* is willing to do. I'm already thinking of a trucker style jacket next and am looking at a russet or distressed leather next.

 

I'm waiting for the delivery of the 5* Bronco A2 in seal brown
Will keep you updated if you're interested in

 

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 :

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
