A2 Lining type

[TrainDriver]

My FiveStar A2 came with the regular cotton lining. I saw that they offered other fabrics including rayon I believe.

I ordered my jacket a few sizes larger (measured 44, ordered 48) because i knew if it was tight and uncomfortable, I just wouldn’t wear it.

Although it (in theory) should be plenty roomy (baggy and ill-fitting many may call it), it is still tight across my back. I can’t help but think that part of what I’m feeling across my back is the cotton lining of my jacket “grabbing” my cotton shirts and the two garments not slipping against one another, and is further restricting my movement. It’s gonna be even worse when I start wearing shirts with sleeves.

Has anyone had this issue or have a jacket with a different “slick” lining like polyester, rayon or silk and can give me some opinions?

I have often found it was tricky to get my arm down the sleeve with a cotton lining (especially when wearing a sweater), but never felt a jacket with a cotton lining was tight across the back. (And I have lots.) Once the jacket is on, I don't think the lining material should make a difference unless it is considerably smaller than the leather shell.

Don’t have that problem with any of my 5 Star jackets. I’m surprised that with the larger size your ordered that you’re having that type of problem.

Hello , like you I usualy wear 44R with my other leather jackets . My 1st one was a 5* Dubow 27798 in 48 and the 4 others ELC in 44 . Shawn advised me to choose a 48 to get some xtra space to feel comfy , that's exactely the case . Did you send the good mesurements to 5* ? Just a question . I've never heard about this type of misscomfort with jackets .

Laid flat does the lining itself appear tight across the shoulders when laid flat, do the seams of both line up?

I don’t know what these pics prove or disprove, but there seems to me to have ample lining fabric, and to my eyes everything seems to line up as it should.

Is that a standard size 48 or did you have it tweaked a bit ? (Customized )
