Hi all, it's with much regret that I have to sell what I thought was a grail jacket for me.
After a year or so of scouring the internet, I finally found a FW Mulholland in my size which is 42". This jacket was purchased from an Asian reseller for $2500 a month or two back, so to be clear I am not the original owner. Unfortunately, it just doesn't fit well and so I am forced to sell it. It's not the wrong size for me; the cut of the jacket simply doesn't suit my body sadly.
My asking price is $2500, the exact price that I paid for it - not looking to make any money here, just to pass along a potentially grail jacket to someone else who really wants it. I'm going to take a loss obviously on shipping and UK customs. The item will ship from London most likely, although an American buyer will likely get it shipped from America (I will give it to my parents to ship in-person when they visit me).
The measurements (see pictures in first post):
Chest: 22"
Shoulder: 18.5"
Back length from collar: just slightly below 25"
Sleeve (see pic for how I measured - the Aero way): 25"
The jacket is in my opinion excellent condition. The leather feels broken in but everything seems to be in pristine condition. I couldn't find anything at all to be an issue, and the lining looks totally fine with no visible wear. See pictures below:
As for how it looks on someone, here's a few pics of it on me. I've circled my main fit issue (other than sleeves being very slightly long), which is that the cut of the jacket simply isn't for someone who has very sloped and forward shoulders like me. I don't think this would be a problem for most of the population, and I think I'm probably in like the top (bottom???) 10% of people in terms of shoulder slope (genetic) and maybe in the top 25% or so of forward shoulders (probably some combination of sitting in front of a computer for ~2 decades as well as some imbalanced weightlifting). This results in my shoulder really not lining up with the jacket and so I have massive divots in the back of the shoulders - it's much worse in real life than it is in the picture below.
To be continued in first post do to picture limitation...
