Just prior to a HA cruise to the Norwegian fjords, we stayed in London for a few days, during which time I had arranged for a Sheene to be shipped by Aero to my hotel in London prior to sailing. Over the course of my vacation I was able to wear my new Sheene mainly while in Norway.
It is a size 42 with 2” added to the waist (1” added to each side panel) and has the following measurements:
Pit to pit – 24”
Waist – 21” (21.5” at the bottom)
Back – 27.25”
Shoulder – 19.5”
Sleeves- 27.25”
The skin is russet Vicenza horsehide with olive cotton drill lining throughout and antique brass zippers and leather toggles. It does not have shoulder gussets, only a single point rear yoke, and no kidney panel. The construction is flawless (thanks Julie Leitch) and fits exactly the way I like. I was greatly assisted with fit by a TFL member who is very similar to me in size and am indebted to him for his assistance.
The last picture probably best illustrates the color (in the sun). Speaking of the sun, I am now back in hot, sunny N Texas and am several weeks away from wearing my Sheene again.

I am still blown away with the Premier HWM in Seal Vincenza HH that you posted yesterday.
