Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

Lol really? That's at least 22" if not more. Seller clearly didn't know how to take proper measurements even though I provided him with instructions and sample pics.

Original listing stated 22" ptp

https://www.carousell.ph/p/1930’s-1940’s-motorcycle-police-leather-jacket-1262116339/?t-id=Q9lZLs_1aN_1701445743330&t-referrer_browse_type=seller&t-referrer_page_type=profile&t-referrer_request_id=55tZ2aJ_pvF7Hrhm&t-tap_index=11

Didn’t you post pictures above showing the p2p to be less than 22” and other measurments looking smaller than listed?

 

[KBlake]

Very odd. If you're basing it on the photo that was posted previously in this thread, it looks like there's more room than 20. Would be very odd for a tag size 44 to have a 20 armpit to armpit, even vintage. Of course, as you know, you should make your own decisions.

So let’s say it’s 21.5”. That won’t fit me. I think the seller wants more than $400 for it and was happy to refund. Marc posted a sleeve pic above that was 60 cm. I’d be really upset if that’s accurate.

This is not a 20" ptp

Didn't you post a 60cm sleeve photo, too? That would be a deal breaker for me. So let's say the p2p is 21.5". That won't work for me. In any case, my loss can be someone else's gain! Have at it boys!

Most sellers don't know how to take measurements so you need to judge the overall dimensions. If the back length is 25" than the sleeves are about the same I'd say, give or take. They might wear shorter because of the 18" shoulder.

I was watching this one and had half a notion to throw out a bid, but then I got sidetracked with something else and completely forgot about it. Considering how many eyes were on this I'm kind of surprised the hammer price wasn't higher.
