Five Star Poughkeepsie?

[bellumbill]

So, Shawn at Five Star was kind enough to offer me a discount on a new jacket to correct the errors on the last one I ordered. So, for my last Five Star jacket I thought I would choose the Poughkeepsie. I would love to see some photos of anyone's Five Star Poughkeepsie jackets if you have purchased one.

Best,
Bill K.

Hello !

FIVESTAR Poughkeepsie

I have just received a FIVESTAR Poughkeepsie in Russet Steerhide with mid brown knits. I had requested Shawn center the snaps on the pocket as his initial demo showed they were off center exactly as his original model was referenced. I would have been fine with this but I thought this was also...

The leather as been pretty light weight on jackets I've seen from this contract.

I agree, I used to own an original size 46 - leather was on the thin side. Best, Bill K.

FWIW -- I have horse and steer hide jackets that run a wide gamut of "weights*" between them. I think it has more to do with cut and finish than species.

*That is, not their true weights on a scale (although one steer hide is a beast and the other is paper), but their drape and flexibility.

The @YoungMedic ’s one in russet steerhide is really nice.

That's some very pebbly hide for steer -- but my ELC Star has similar character and I'm pretty sure it's also steer.
