The fabric on this one is amazing! Too dear for me right now:

Thanks Baron for posting. I kind of took a chance cause it doesn't say what chest size it is, but looks like it would fit me. Length of jacket and shoulder width is what I usually use.

Don't cut it up for caps, please! ^^

Nice one Johnny! Yeah, it was a little big in the shoulders for me. I'm guessing it'll be around a size 37-38 in the chest.

No sir. I don't feel right doing that to any vintage clothing.

If its at least a 38 I will be safe.

Got the blazer yesterday and fits perfect. The only bad thing is that the seller missed how the left sleeve has a long section of about 1 1/2" x 12" that is faded. The good thing is that its not super faded, but I did notice it when I took it out of the box. Hopefully others won't notice as much.
All in all, great fabric. Thanks again Baron for posting!

Too bad. Maybe you'll get lucky and instead of fading it's a clean spot surrounded by slightly dirtier areas. Maybe it'll get even less faded after cleaning?

I brushed it pretty good and then steamed it and that helped quite a bit. You really have to look for it now. This will definitely get a lot of wear time in the cooler part of year!
