SOLD: Thurston Vanson Chopper Sz. 44

[Pubstout]

I bought this a few years ago from another member here but have only worn it a handful of times since. It was pretty tight-fitting when I got it but then I got serious about my health, dropped 30+ lbs, and now it's way too big. Hanging on to it just in case I gain back a bunch of weight seems like a poor choice.
Asking $550 shipped CONUS, pp f&f.
Open to offers.
Not my first transaction on the lounge, but if you're curious about seller rating, I use the same handle on eBay.

Chest, Shoulders, Back Length, Arm Length, Bottom Hem/Waist

Thank you kindly!

Thankfully, my 14y/o daughter was able to help, as this may be the most difficult-to-measure jacket I've encountered
My measurements:
Lifting the arms and measuring pit to pit - 23 inches
Directly across the shoulders, seam to seam - 20 inches
From the bottom of the collar down the back - 27 inches
From shoulder to bottom of the sleeve - 25 inches
Waist - 21 inches

The waist is adjustable (see pic of buckles) so, from my measurement it has a fair bit of room to get bigger/smaller. Also, without having someone wearing it and using a flexible tape, getting an accurate measurement along the arm curvature is difficult, at best. That said, I did snag Thurston's measurements from their website for comparison.

Thurston Measurements:
Size 44
Back length--27.25 inches
Sleeve length--25.75 inches
Pit-to-pit--23.5 inches
Shoulder--19.5 inches
Waist--20-21.5 inches (adjustable)

Something to note, the back is dropped, meaning it’s a bit longer in the back than the front. Keeps the top crack covered when on a motorcycle

Love it.

Any interest in a trade? I have a size large chopper, which is more like a 42, and a 44 would fit me a lot better. I’ve been hesitant to sell it because it’s so damned cool, but it is a bit small for me.

Man, that is tempting but at the moment I think not. I've had in my mind that for my next jacket, I'll finally get around to having Carrie (Thurston) do a custom fitting for me.

Friend, put it for sale... size 42 is a very popular size. Can you post the basic measurements?

Super nice jacket. I’d be willing to trade one of my expensive aero horse hide or steer hide for it.

 

[BikerMan]

Kudos to you on the weight. It’s hard to lose. Good on ya

No worries, I totally understand!

I just might. I did some casual measurements yesterday, and it seems a tiny bit smaller than this 44.
