Oh… I’ve been trying to sell my Avro to a friend here in Sweden. But seeing your pics made me realize I don’t even have an Avro. But a Ross. Been having it for 8 years without even knowing. Need to spend more time hanging out here…
Good luck with sell!

Shoulder and sleeve measurements are linked in the post at the bottom. Please see the last three links.

I can take a photo again of the chest if you want to see it again, but to be honest I examined it very thoroughly and stitch to stitch it sits at 22’’, its between 22/23, it’s a thick jacket when laid flat so the thickness of the sides add a bit more to it. My chest is 44, and it fits snug.

let me know if you have any other questions or are interested in buying

Surprised you can zip the jacket if your chest is 44" and the P2P is 22". I would've expected you'd need at least 2"-3" of chest ease. I wonder because I'd be interested, but I have a 41" chest and generally look for jackets with a 22"-22.5" P2P. From what I knew of Himel, they size a bit small but are intended to be true. Any extra info you can provide would be appreciated! Thanks!

I need to measure my chest again, it’s between 42-44. I’ve lost a lot of weight recently. I’ll examine the measurements of the jacket again but like I said I did it pretty thoroughly and it’s 22’’ stitch to stitch. It’s beefy though so there’s probably some room in there and my chest is probably smaller than 44’’

I’ll take photos of me in it tomorrow with my measurements and weight and height and do a double take of the chest measurements.

I’ve gone down in size so it fits me again.
I ordered this in 2017 when I was around 200 pounds. I shot up to 240 and it was really tight on me. I then came back down to 200 and it fits me snug again, this jacket runs small for a 44 tag.

UPDATED MEASUREMENTS (PLEASE READ)

Stitch to Stitch, it is exactly 22' inches, there is some additional leather though that comes out the side, when it is laid very flat, it strikes exactly at 23 inches then starts to taper, PIT TO PIT LAID TOTALLY FLAT

PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO TO SEE:

Bellow are photos of me in the jacket taken today.

weight: 206 ibs
height: 6 feet
chest measurement: 43 inches

PLEASE THOROUGHLY READ THIS POST AND THE FIRST POST WITH ALL IMAGES LINKED BELLOW FOR SHOULDER AND SLEEVE MEASUREMENTS

As you can see, the jacket is quite snug on me, depending on the fit you prefer some people may say this jacket is the perfect snug fit for me, but I prefer a little more room these days in my jackets. So I personally would size up one, in my opinion it's about one size too big for me. So if you weigh less than me and have 1-2 inches less on your chest, this should be a good fit for you.

Also, please see the provided link on Himel's website which I provided at the top. As you can see in the photo, the jacket is actually the exact same specs as the one I have. The reason? Because he took a photo of my first order and used it on his website! There are two of these jackets made to my knowledge, both made in 2017. My order was too small on me because I put on some weight around the time it was ready, this was around the time I used to wear size 40 leather and I started to go to the gym, so I quickly outgrew the first. He remade my order for me at a discount in exchange for the original jacket. This bigger one was made for me when I weighed around 180-190. I have since put on even more weight, and if I ever got a third version made for me again, I would size up again.
