What’s the pit to pit really?!!

[dudewuttheheck]

LOL. This was the remeasure. And I gave him this as a guide! It’s just not that hard! Sleeves up damn it!

No that’s the pic I gave him of my jacket to help illustrate how it’s done. I’m thinking his jacket is actually around 21”. I just wanted to see it so I could put it to bed!

20" at the most

I like the way you think. Jacket doesn't look like it has been flattened down fully on that side, so I'm thinking this more of a 21 inch P2P.

What do you want it to be?

 

[ton312]

What do you want it to be?

LOL. Bigger. I can squeeze into 22.5” 23-24” I’d ideal.

 

[ton312]

Good lord. Any takers on this mess?

I'll take that jacket if that's what you mean. Thanks, Ton! Great Christmas present. Don't know what to say. . . XD

23.5"

I don’t understand how people who sell clothes can be this far lost on the most simple and basic measurement in all of clothing, across all manner of garment. I should have a hat that says “P2P COACH”

It can be slightly confusing if you're not familiar with the concept of chest width at all.
Like for instance, early on, I too wasn't sure whether I'm supposed to measure the distance between the side seams or across the entire thing, from the edges where the front folding into the back. This method seemed very error-prone to me as the back could've creased without me noticing it.

But then again, getting it right takes less than 1 minute of research so it is sort of inexcusable in this day and age.

Getting there. What say you?

 

[Monitor]

Hm, there's still plenty of material stuffed underneath. I'll say 23" now but no less.

Stunning jacket, by the by!

 

[Boyo]

Looks like an inch under each fold so 22-23” is my guess..

 

[jonesy86]

It's surly a guessing game, I say 22.

 

[Schambach]

I’ll play. What say you guys?

I’m going to say that one is 21”.5 on the nose. This looks just like the measurement I wrestled with on this guy.

 

[El Marro]

I’m going to say 22.5”. Since it’s a size 42 I feel like it should have about 3-4” of chest ease.

LW size 42??
22.5" P2P or maybe even 23"!

 

[Schambach]

Thanks guys. Lots of good, informed guesses. Unfortunately none of them put it where I want(23-24"ish), but I knew that would be the case.

I’ll say this, the LW suburban I just sent to Mendel was bang on 23.5” in a size 42” not to complicate matters of course

Honestly, it would've been my initial guess but I know LW used to really precise in P2P back in the day and insisted their size numbers are true.
