How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Just bought this vintage levis trucker.
Probably early 70s

Yeah, but never too few blue racers. The one I just got is awesome and a keeper, but that is a jacket I can layer at size 42. I am still looking for a 40 or maybe even a 38 blue Score or Shields to go for a tighter fit. Funny thing, my wife never notices if I put on a new jacket when we go out (why should she, all my jackets are black racers, lol), but when she saw that Shields she said wow. She loved the color, as did I. So, I view it as an approval to get more, lol.

Mine is also a 42 and also a bit wide. Great for layering.

Sizing is kind of funny btw. I can zip the 36 and 42 and they perfectly align. Which means they don't grow in length with sizing up.

@Marc mndt - would you mind doing a quick measurement on the 36? Shoulders, P2P, sleeve and hem width. That would greatly help me target that tighter fit in Shields/Score. Thanks, hope not too much trouble.

Thanks. I'd need to lose three inches in the hem for 36 to work. Not gonna happen. 38 might work, 40 definitely, although I don't know if 40 would give me a much tighter fit than my 42. I think I should be looking for a 38...

I think I would need a 40. But these are very hard / impossible to find.

I just measured my blue Shields (42) and the black Score and determined that the black Score is 40, despite the size tag being unreadable. I feel some resistance when I move my shoulders forward but I can zip it up no problem. No such resistance in the 42 Shields. If I wanted a t-shirt-only fit in blue Shields I would probably need a 38. Good luck to both of us! :)

I am happy I have the 42 though. A little roomy, but it is a rare bird and a pleasure to wear. The color is off the charts.

View attachment 328257 View attachment 328259 another Taubers headed home should be a perfect fit. Look out for a larger-sized straight zip Taubers with police badge holder also in pristine condition coming soon to the classifies.
Unfortunately, I am returning this gem just too small. I get a 22" pit to pit including the football. Tagged size 40. I can zip it but it feels like a straight jacket. Probably post-war 40s based on the label and Crown/Coats Clark zip. Pristine vintage condition lighter than my straight zip police Taubers
The seller was asking $750 and came down to $700. plus state sales tax and low shipping cost.
here the link if interested
