New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star®️ Horsehide

[marker2037]

$1750 to import this jacket in the USA so I'm hesitant to be the guinea pig on this one. I'd love to find a used one though and with my hips and rear end, the design and flare at the bottom will actually sit well on me.

Hi Guys,
Has anyone grabbed this yet?
such a cool design
Do you think it might work for my body shape?
I have 18.5 inch shoulders, 41 inch chest, 34/5 inch waist...
Unfortunately I'll never get to see this in person being from New Zealand, with approximately 3 people being interested in decent leather jackets

I haven't seen any floating around yet either.

sry to necro an old thread... but did any other people get this jacket that fit them well? or did ELMC ever revamp the pattern for this jacket?

I came in contact with a guy on Instagram who owns one and it looks absolutely amazing on him.

I still think about this jacket every now and then, wondering whether or not I should just order a size 42. It'll look better when worn with straight fit jeans as opposed to the slim fit jeans I was wearing back then.

But then I see my 80s CHP (which has a much smaller opening than the ELMC) and I realize the Highway star pattern just isn't for me. It looks great on others though.

Thanks, I wish it was possible to try this one out (but US stockists don't seem to have it). Based on the thread, sounds like the ELMC quoted measurements aren't reliable either.

Did anyone ever pick up one of these?

Reviewing this thread, it makes me realize why most CHP's, straight or cross-zip, have the side laces. Then the fit and taper become a non-issue. Maybe ELMC will add this option?

I've been watching for it since it was announced, but I've never seen one listed on ebay, and only one or two people here have ever tried one on in the store or bought one. I keep my eyes open for it but it seems to be much less common than the Freewheelers Mulholland. Which is itself not that common.

Fully agreed! And I do not know if any US Stockist has picked up that model yet.
