For Sale is my basically new Five Star B-3 in seal with russet reinforcements.
Worn only a handful of times as I realized too late for the return period that it's a little too small for me.
Looking for 400€
It's a stock 44 with following measurments:
Shoulders: 22, 5 inch
P2P: 26 inch...
5 Star B-3, Samurai Jeans Baker Pants & Bright Shoemaker Engineers. I had an Eastman B-3 for like a week before deciding the fit wasn't perfect (too long) and the B-3 itself doesnt work that well with my physique to begin with. Still wanted one so I went with a more affordable option. Can't say...

The stitching on one cuff is so misaligned that the overlapping piece of leather actually hurts by piercing into the wrist (besides looking sloppy on top of that).
Flashbacks to the RMC J24 that came with fresh...
Received the Eastman B3 today, very happy with it I must say.
I'm 6'7 with a lean built, so off the rack jackets almost never fit me.
Wanted to go with a custom Aero because of that but due to the price increase (and a domestic Eastman retailer), this one was cheaper and I figured I might just...
