Wow!

Wow! That is super nice, but too big for me. The 1940s overcoat I have is 22 inches pit to pit and my wife says it looks a little big on me.

my wife says it looks a little big on me.

I tell men wishing to dress with a classic style not to solicit the opinions of women and to ignore those that are unsolicited. Generally speaking, their sartorial sensibilities lie in fashion rather than style.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes.

But if you are looking for the measurement that makes something look too big for you: it's the shoulders. most men can take quite a range of chest dimensions (obviously not ridiculously too far either way), but the shoulders are critical. Not too wide, not too narrow.

And yes, Thunder, awesome jacket. A really fantastic example of a timeless classic.:eusa_clap

Very nice, this one.

Shoulders 16.5", are you sure? Looks larger on the mannquin, considering the 23" chest measurement.

 

[Two Types]

Beautiful. Great condition, I too wondered about the shoulder measurement.

 

[thunderw21]

I'll remeasure tonight just to be sure.

 

[scottyrocks]

That is one beautiful coat.

I took the time to peek at all your listing, they are all very beautiful items.

Thanks for the comments, folks.

You're right, I screwed up the measurements. Shoulders are actually 18".
