Love my Wested...
They have a nice site, apparently have good customer service jackets are produced in Pakistan
According to the business insider, they appear to make a nice jacket especially for the budget
Minded like me, it would be interesting to know how custom you can go, I prefer thick leather
Good for motorcycling and for Canadian weather.
I think they can be a bit hit an miss. My recent A-1 was a miss and I am in the process of sending it back due to a defect. Personally I would say buy a second hand jacket from eBay. You can pick up a really good jacket that would have cost £1,000 for the £300 to £400 price mark. I picked up a practically unused Aero cafe racer for £370 this year. Shott are pretty reasonable on eBay as well. I would 100% go the second hand route.While I don’t own a 5 Star Leather Jacket, a few people here do, and they like them. If you find a photo of a jacket you like , Sean at 5 Star can duplicate the jacket for you in the hide of your choosing . You may want to take a look at their website.
And this time of year REALLY IS the time to buy. Nobody in the Northern hemisphere is thinking about leather jackets right now, so the prices are at their low point.You can pick up a really good jacket that would have cost £1,000 for the £300 to £400 price mark.
