Same as above. Many measurements given are clearly wrong(32.5" length on a 3/4 length overcoat) and most sleeves are listed at 22" on large jackets.

Yea im a chump, I bought 2 items & havent herd a peep 1 on 10-27 & another on 11-03, I paid instantly.
I should have held off & waited for a response to my questions
The seller keeps relisting his stuff so that may be due his Laziness, In answering questions & correct measurements.....
Maybe this guy has no hand's & stubby arms ,,,,due to the extra short sleeves...
OH well My mistake for pulling the trigger, & i do know better now....

I won a corduroy hollywood from this seller during his first round of postings and it was shipped timely.

I think he may be in a rush to move his collection as quickly as possible and is prioritizing listing items over responding to buyers. In fact, you can actually track the progression of the suns position in the sky from morning to dusk by his auction pictures!

If any non-Australians are thinking of bidding on his stuff, it might be worth it to ask him to hold on to the item after winning it. Since he is consistently adding more stuff, you can ask for combined shipping if you win something else you liked. A few weeks after I won the jacket, I won a hat, which ended up being another $30 for shipping. He's got some cool '30s shirts, but now I'm flat broke!

Killer clip!!!!

The sleeves feel a bit longer than 22 inches, but I'll have to double check when I get home. It looks like he had the sleeves tailored shorter on his collection. The tricky thing with the jacket I won is that it sleeves are cuffed, so their is no excess fabric to let out. On the other jackets, the fabric may be folded under, but their is no way of knowing unless the seller divulges the info.
