It always seemed to me that it was easier to open a photo (not everyone has high-speed Internet )

Just asking:

Why did you oil up a basically brand new jacket? To darken it?

Ties

No, the color remains the same. I just decided to experiment
It seems to me that the look of the skin has become more interesting (it seems to me so)

Here is an update to compare mid brown and russette brown, both horsehide.

 

[mulceber]

Both of those look really good. From your pictures, the mid-brown looks like a light seal, is that right?

Exact, this mid brown from Shawn is quite near from seal, but not exactly. Seal is darker than this mid brown.

Nice to see differents pictures from the site so a different colour ....I like the shade of this mid brown but the russet is not that bad It will be hard to choose! Don't tell my wife i gonna break the bank for another jacket!!!

Jerome, I’m looking at these and it occurs to me that those jackets are in direct sunlight. Could you take a picture of them away from the sun, just to give us an idea how the leathers look in different lighting?

Believe me, there were not sunlight today here, but on a table inside.

Better get your order in now if so inclined
Price increases and longer wait times are usually inevitable “by products” of success in this hobby .

I wonder if my new Dubow is in there? Shawn sent me pics of the finished jacket early this morning.

You’re right about the wait increase. All my previous 5stars took about 2 weeks from order to payment to in my mail box. This new one took 2 weeks alone to be made. 5star is starting to catch on I think. It makes me wonder if these original contract jackets won’t be over $1k in the next year or two. Better buy a couple while it’s still economical!!

Never sold on decals. How is the name plate stitching?

It looks pretty solid from the pictures. I will know in a week when it gets here

If AAF decal placing are offered by 5 stars as an option, then I would advice dear Shawn to change the decal supplier, cause the font is different from the original. All good things cost money, but these are the nuances that often make the final product (jacket) look like the original.
I also don’t think that with zippers as used today, these jackets will cost more than a thousand some day.

Agree. Very similar to the ATF font...
