Five Star absolutely nailed the measurements which came from my favourite Type 3 denim jacket, millimetre perfect. Hide is black deerskin with a black silk rayon lining. First non military jacket I’ve ever had made, fancied a change.

Thanks BIP,

The label was one of the new 5* options which suits the nature of the jacket.

5* attach rivet buttons themselves to their leather Truckers. In my case I wanted vintage brass versions so asked Shawn to omit.

Spoke to my Father who said it took him 3 hours to position and attach them..he is very meticulous.

Mike you said a long while ago you sent a jacket to Shawn to copy ,how did it come out ? .It was a Motorcycle jacket if I remember right

BIP
Yep you remember correctly, there was a bit of a sizing issue, had to send it back and
Put the project on hold as the pandemic hit and my wife [boss] asked I not
Spend any big money as we were not sure what would happen work wise for
Her and me being on the disabled list at work, she wanted to batten down
The hatches just in case as there are more important things that come first.
The arm holes and upper arms were to small, my t-shirt would not fit in
With my arms and they pushed into my armpits

I know and fully trust Shawn can easily correct this but right but I answer to a higher power
And I’m not exactly wanting for jackets , when I get the all clear I’ll let loose the
Hounds from within my wallet perhaps in the spring.

Not sure if this video shows the Five Star facility or a customs warehouse...... get a look at the size of the place at the start of this video...
