Anyone interested in Fivestar horsehide? 3 shades in progress..

Would it be fair to start considering FiveStar jackets to be mentioned in the same conversation as BK, AERO, ELC et al., ? Especially when the original contract repros start to have period correct Crown and Conmar zips available? The talon only option, in my opinion, is the only thing I would say is holding FiveStar back.

Just one thing what about the thickness of the leather compared to the ELC? The hide look fantastic and if you did not notice the 5star tag they look similar very close from the pictures!

The leather is approx same thickness of original ELC contracts I have, but one thing certain the 5 Stars leather is far softer, which give him a very nice looking when worn.

There were some earlier on who described the hide as "stretchy." I did a test of that on the samples I got, but it's hard to gauge on just a sample. Not asking you to try stretching your jacket, but does it seem noticeably more elastic than your Eastman?

The jacket is not so stretchy...a true pity actually cause my measurments were on the lower scale, so the jacket is a little too small for me: i can wear it but not very confortable, my mistake. The second one in mid brown HH will give me more room. Fortunately Shawn send me the first jacket to check sizes before doing the second.

Here are pictures of the second Werber, in mid brown HH. I'll show you more as soonas I have it in hands.
