FIVESTAR LEATHER D-1 JACKET

[Otter]

This was a half belt that aero leather Scotland sent out and the customer had claimed some issues with some marks from transit. Not sure of all the details but Ken asked if I would see what I could do with it.

It came to me like this. An Olive color.
Jacket fit me like a glove. A little snug in some areas, but my first look at a half belt up close. I was impressed with both the jacket and the leather. Vicenza. I honestly don’t know what the customer was unhappy with.
Lovely jacket. Anyway. Here it is before.

I did some tests and finally came up with this.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work on this with aero leather Scotland. This one took me a little longer than my BK redye.

And a bi-swing back, cuff snaps, epaulettes and a totally different cut. Apart from those, exactly the same.

Thank you for your kind and constructive comments Peter. I am done with this place and trying to help and encourage people.

You have come a long way . That’s a fine example of a D1.
Congrats on all of your work.

As I said to Shawn on FB, I've gotta put a bit of money aside as this one is quite a bit steeper, but I want one really bad for this winter!

Looks good, very nice finish on that skin surface !

Easily worth that!

Price will start from 390 size 3XS and every size UP will be significantly a little increase in cost proportionally, but as always VLJ members who contribute will receive some discounts as well.

Thanks Shawn. Looking to get a custom one more likely. I need one that tapers down from a 48" top to a 42" waistline. I'll ping you about of off of the thread...Thank you
This is what my dad wore in the USAF during his stint in Bicester, England. I'd like to maybe get him one too - he can likely make better use of it in Wisconsin than I can in Los Angeles, but at the price, I can live with a jacket I don't wear often...

 

[MikeyB-17]

If I didn’t know different, I would have said that was made by RMC or one of the other high-end manufacturers. Really impressive job.

 

[mulceber]

Yeah, I was thinking that the texture reminds me of the broken grain on my Eastman.

 

[stanier]

Looks unbelievably good! Is it possible to get a sample of the shearling and pocket bag fabric? Is it OM label ir Fivestar?
