What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[navetsea]

Yeah I go from loving it to thinking it looks way too over the top. I may try some less invasive means of subtlety darkening the leather before another bout of acetone and dye.

I think it looks fine, but perhaps tone down a little the spots that is too dark, these dark spots make it too fake. And imho dont polish it all shiny everywhere, pick few spots that should be shiny, collar fold and edges, cuff, some raised part on the inner elbow honeycomb, edges of the pocket, near zipperbox, and leave everything else in soft sheen and matte.

Almost the same with yesterday, just different shoes and jacket.

Haha, thank you! It started off as shaving mistake but then I realized I really like it. Also, wanted to say something in the sale thread but decided it's best not to because it's a sale thread but you got a really great looking & fitting Schott there and that is a rare thing.

Thanks, Monitor. Your are one of the "Perfecto" authorities in these parts, so this really counts.

I must say I was a bit urprised how well it fitted after pulling it out of storage for pictures and measurments. I had a vague memory of a fit with the typical(?) "Perfecto-beer-belly", but not so much. Maybe because I put on some 3-4 kilos since buying it back in 2013. I even thought about keeping it, but I have to realize I just like my LL "Lightning" so much more.

This is the super phantom right?

Why thank you Sir.

Yes it is.

That looks fantastic. How is the back? And what is the hide?

Thank you, I had to bother them a lot to come out like this

Thank you! The leather is their 1.3mm black goat. I'm thrilled with the work on this one.

I've never seen any 5 Star products in real Life but I am getting tempted to invest in a beautiful piece.

I forgot to attach a picture with the back, it came out just how I wanted.

I wasn't sure either until I saw some nice results, then I thought I'd go for it. After my CR I thought about this project and I'm glad I got them to do it. Well worth the investment.

Even better from the back. Really digging it!

Wear your Windward to work day. Normally I wouldn’t dream of wearing leather to work but this jacket is perfect for the dip back into Fall like temps we’re having and the design is fairly banal...not to ostentatious for a school setting. If I were on a college campus perhaps I could pass as an archeologist

 

[navetsea]

should have worn your hand vintaged 5* and counts the likes, probably will give you a peace of mind
