Ello gents. I'm selling my black DD J-100 because it's just a little too small on my shoulders. I have no complaints otherwise. It looks awesome to my eyes. The pics make it appear shinier than it is. I am asking what i have paid which is $600. Measurements are as follows: Pit-to-pit 22.5", Shoulder across back 18.5, sleeve 24.5, back 24, hem 19.75. Here is DD's description from the ebay listing from which i purchase it:
"Buco J-100
c. 1950's
This is a "NEW" jacket and is Made in the USA!!
This jacket is made of 3.25 oz, Horse-Hide,
This is a customer return for sizing issue, and as such has only been tried on a few times. Please read the measurements below.
This jacket has a Retail price of $949.00 USD on our website, but here is a chance to own it now at a deep discount.
Lining: 100% Cotton Drill in Black
Pocket Lining: Super Heavy Flannel Canvas
Zippers: Main zip is a #5, NOS Talon, complete with correct 1950's slider and pull. Includes extra heavy
100% Cotton tape, this is THE zipper that was used by the most of the garment makers of the day.
Jacket also includes NOS 1950's "Bell pull" Talon to each sleeve end as well as "Hershey Bar" pull Talons to the chest pockets.
Label: Completely accurate, reproduction, Satin label in correct style and color.
The jacket in question is a size 42, Bear in mind that these jackets fit differently than most of the modern "Mall" jackets sold today.
As such, please see the dimensions for this jacket and you will understand the sizing better. The original jackets seem to have had a standard +4" increase, form ones own measurement, and are labeled as such.
This is seen also in styles such as the fantastic A-2 jackets of the similar period."
