One More Time
I have both the Alexander's is 2" narrower in the waist and chest than the one size smaller Highwayman. Will take some measurements and post them ( they will be for a 40" Highwayman and a 42" Roadster if that helps). Equally the Thurston thing seems to work great if you are across the...- Plumbline

1972 Star Sportswear G1 Jacket Size 48
Nice .. awesome collar colour ... I much prefer the rust mouton or the pale ( bleached) mouton on the G-1 to the dark Mouton. I suspect the original came with dark brown and at 1972 may have been synthetic ( I'm no expert on the G-1 but have seen similar star models from the 70's with synthetic...- Plumbline

My new old B-3 flying jacket

Christmas Jacket No. 3 Alexanders "Roadster" in Oilpull Steer
It's very similar in weight to CXL ant totally different to the previous " napped" oil pull which both Aero and Alexander's did. It is smoothest but is really developing grain and character straight out of the box. It's not grainy veg tanned steer ,,, more like a satin CXL. Will see if I can get...- Plumbline

Christmas Jacket No. 3 Alexanders "Roadster" in Oilpull Steer
Just a little .. Identical to any of my jackets with a chest pocket and an inner pocket ( Alexander's / Aeros / Eastman ) they all did it. I don't notice it much but there is a distinct difference left side to right side ( it's one of the reasons I veered away from the chest pocket on my...- Plumbline

Christmas Jacket No. 3 Alexanders "Roadster" in Oilpull Steer
Bought this on the "Outlet" for £300 to replace my 44" Highwayman which was too big .... I had an almost identical jacket to this in 2005 ( and I mean "almost" identical even down to the hide ) the only difference was it was lined in "Grant" flannel cotton and was a Highwayman. This is about 2"...- Plumbline
