FiveStar Leather - different jackets

[MrProper]

In addition to the repros of flight jackets, @Shawn Ali from FiveStar also manufactures any other jackets, which however don't match the threads for A-1, A-2, G-1 etc. jackets.
Therefore I will post some pictures in this thread.

I will start with the Amelia Earhart inspired Jacket, made of 1.2 mm, semi veg tanned goatskin, dark seal brown:

A Cossack style jacket, 1.2 mm steerhide, black

Leather vest, "Capeskin" (it's a soft lambskin), seal brown

really great work overall. The only "budget" giveaway really is the character of the hides. if I were to ever buy a new leather jacket again, I think I would go for the Ameila as I love those stand up collars

Love all of those jackets they look really sharp.
But, I think that they look best on a trim body type. Don’t think I could pull that off.
I do really like them though.

First impression of the trucker jacket. I still have to break in them and take equitable photos.

Same. I’m in decent shape, but I do not have the v-shaped torso that can pull that off.

Since all jackets are made to measure, they will work for every body shape. Cossack and Amelia in particular are only so narrow because I wanted to. But it also works well with other body shapes.

If the look works without all the tapering, you have a chance. The Cossack and Earhart (Aviator style) were 20s and early 30s designs and back then were cut like utility garments, not hourglass shaped. The halfbelt jackets later in the 30s were young men's styles and cut that way.

great stitching on the Trucker jacket!!!!

Hi Shawn,
I see you’ve put a few video reviews on Facebook of some recent jackets. Would it be possible to get a review of your B3 and the Luftwaffe jacket with the moulton collar? Both are on my list and I’m keen to get a closer look.

regards

Garry

Seconded! I’m eager to see what that B-3 looks like.
