Somebody did well on that one!

Yep - me, after a decent wait to allow others time to look I gave in to the temptation and bought it. It arrived a few days ago as the seller (new on eBay and a little inexperienced) had a few problems with PayPal so I had to wait for posting until my cheque cleared. In fact it has been worn - evidence - some pilling on the lining easily shaved off with one of those devices designed to remove the bobbles from jumpers, slight shininess on the cuff linings and a bit more flexibility to the hide than one would expect on new fqhh. On the positive side, it fits has a Talon zipper and is still a heck of a bargain.

Yes, some eBay sellers have a vety flexible idea of "never been worn" (ditto "excellent condition", "like new", et cetera). I'd be interested to know what the drop is between pit to pit and waist measuements on this one.

Edward- I'll let you know those measurements in a week when I get home. Oh and the ball and chain pull was missing from the right hand pocket so yes quite an odd concept of bought from new and never been worn but I'm still happy with it.

Crackin', thanks. Even with a little wear, it definitely was a good bargain. I paid a fair bit more for my Eastman Roadstar a couple of months ago, and that was in good, but not new, condition. A fair chunk of change less than half the price of a new one too...

Edward - Pit to Pit fastened and flat 26.5 inches, waist 21.5 inches. I'll pm you too to make sure you get the measurements
Cheers
