Newbie here, looking for some advice... I've an old overcoat (2 actually but lets start with one) inherited from my father, that I'm looking to sell. First is a double-breated camel overcoat, but I don't have much detail beyond what I can measure etc. 1960's or early 1970's? By Jackson the Tailor.

No label for sizing or material, assumed woollen with rayon type lining? Too big for me. As I'm a measured 43" chest, with long arms, I assume this is a either a 44" or 46" long - see measurements below and in the pictures for reference.

Length top of collar to hem = 44inches (112cm)
Chest pit to pit = 23inches (58.5cm)
Shoulders = 20.5 inches (52cm)
Sleeves = 28inches (71cm)
Repair to inner lining above the vent (see picture) otherwise in excellent condition throughout.

So my questions:
1. Anything I should be adding to the description to help a prospective buyer know the right info and details on the coat?
2. Any improvements needed (photos, measurements, description etc.)?
3. Indication on an asking price? I'm assuming around $200 asking (or equiv in £, € or CHF) + shipping ex Switzerland?

thanks in advance for any help!
