Open to reasonable offers

Shame this one is still waiting. If I had the cash, and wanted a Buco D-pocket, this is pretty much it. No vtg original can touch this.

 

[chamboid]

Hopefully soon, a guy tried it on the other day. Fit him perfectly he loved it and said, he like really likes the Mccoys offering, but this was out of reach, when I said £800 his mouth dropped. Thought he was going to jump at it there an then.

It's quite small for a 44, isn't it?

 

[Monitor]

Chest and waist sounds about right.

 

[A-1]

But the sleeves and body are quite short. But probably that's normal as well on this model.

 

[chamboid]

It is, but if you look at the measurements go by them. Vintage 44, 40-42.

I can't emphasise enough what an amazing jacket this is. Trumps Mccoys my a country mile.

My god... if it was a size smaller and I had cash lying around... This jacket is A-MA-ZING!!!

 

[chamboid]

It fits a 40-42 the label is vintage sizing.

Go by measurements...

 

[mendelboaz]

Yeah I know, the jacket is close to fitting. Sleeve & body length are perfect, underarm & waist are slightly too big. Shoulder is much too small.

 

[mendelboaz]

How come you're selling this beauty of a jacket, my good man?

 

[chamboid]

It's not mine, selling for a friend who is very very particular, and just doesn't fit him like he wished. F he jacket fit me I would not sell, though this style not to my taste

 

[mendelboaz]

Can't believe this one still hasn't sold.

 

[Bunyip]

I know. I'm considering lap band surgery and a smokers diet to make it fit me.....it's just a cracking jacket.

This jacket is still fantastic and available and for sale
