FS: Eastman Roadstar sz. 42

[Facini]

This sale might get pulled back, but for the time being it is for sale. The reason being that, while it has a fantastic fit, i prefer something less slim or perhaps a size 44. Got it from fellow TFL member Buick and it is an absolutely fantastic jacket. Underrated pattern based on the early Buco J-21/J-24 jackets.

Features lifted from ELMC's site:

2.5oz Italian, premium grade, veg-tanned horsehide
100% wool plaid lining to body
100% cotton silesia sleeve linings
100% cotton-drill pocket linings
Dull-nickel vintage metal zips (Talon)
Shuttle-loom woven labels
D-Pocket

Pictures kindly lent from Buick except fit pics, which are my own.

May I ask your height for that fit on the arms / waist?

How is the movement (such as driving - arms out, etc?) - given its a slim fit, how it works in use. Arms seem to run slightly short size for a 42.

I'm usually typical 42 but I my body is more square shaped. Beautiful grain on the HH.

I’m around 183 cm/ 6” tall. The sleeves look shorter in the photos than they actually wear i would say. I think the angle makes them seem that way. I’ll post a picture from a different angle later and you can judge for yourself.

As for the movement, it is excellent and give me a full range of motion. I’ve ridden my motorcycle in it a couple for times and drove my car in it with no problems what so ever. Supremely comfortable - the pattern on these Roadstars are just fantastic n my opinion.

This is how it looks from the side, unzipped. Hope it helps.

I appreciate the response. Re-measured myself and my other jackets - even if I lost 10 lbs it would be tight on my hem, I just don't have that body shape. Sorry for kicking the tires a bit, I had a 5% hope the measurements would work out. Great jacket, love the curved front collar vintage pattern - GLWS.

No worries, i don't mind at all. Thank you very much and good luck on your hunt.
