It does look like a nice coat, alas one that was made for a way taller dude than you.
IDK, if you had a few inches taken off the sleeves maybe the body length is not such a disaster?
But probably you ought to be adding it to your menagerie and looking for something else that's shorter
Block Bilt MC style like below is undoubtedly the best and most stylish option out there and only a fool would disagree. If you're size 40 check the classifieds

If you want to save yourself a few bob may I suggest that any leather 'jacket' in the classifieds from one of the ''three inches below the belt is how I like em brigade' can be considered. KAPOW!!
But if aiming for something that's stylish, and if willing to go direct,Thedi is another maker you...
Ok, it can leave now
If anyone wants it, PM me for a shipping quote. Unfortunately I am not in the UK right now so shipping will be slower and a bit more expensive than usual, but it will be secure!
Hey man, it's your money. Don't mind me. I'm just supplying an opinion since you posted the fit pics up, although I know it isn't the one that a lot of guys round here like to hear. At the end of the day that is intended to be a short style and in mine (opinion) it'll always look better worn...
It's easier to ascertain the way a jacket truly fits and the proportions if you can take full length photos, from top to toe.
To my eye the body looks too long also, by some distance, and this is especially evident on the rear view shot
I've seen plenty of sales threads where I didn't care for the seller's approach and you know what I did in those situations? Nothing. I kept my mouth shut because stinking up somebody else's For Sale thread in my view is very bad form. I'd say it shows a lack of respect for both the classifieds...
Now that it's gone I can tell you it was a Vanson that enabled this sale.
I can honestly say I've never wasted one second's worth of regret on a departed jacket. Once they're gone they're gone and life goes on. I know some guys like to own a whole wardrobe full of them but in my case three...
Oh dear. I seem to have annoyed a few members. Not my intention.
In my defence the first words of this thread state that it would either be this OR the Arcadia that would be sold. Not both.
Selling the Arcadia was my preference so if I've achieved that now by putting this one in the shop...
Update, the Arcadia has sold so I'll be holding onto this for now. But I will sell it later on, and when I do I'll reignite this thread.
The promised measurements:
Pit to pit 21.5"
Shoulders 17.75"
Sleeves 25.5"
Length 23.75"
@Gamma68 I think you can't wear it with jeans that slim fitting. Pair it with some baggy loose fitting vintage style trousers and you're gonna pull it off!
@JMax let's talk vanson linings can we
Is that tiger camo on your vest a standard option? A more expensive upgrade? Or one you supplied yourself? I especially like this cotton
Maybe these will help.
Pics to show current condition.
As you guys know full well black is not easy to photograph, but I think a few of these offer some idea of the grain.
I need to check how much postage will in fact cost, and then I can ink in a price. Right now I'm thinking £400 plus the...
This is definitely more a 42 than it is a 40, as borne out by the measurements.
A close examination of this pic taken just now reveals a) that the leather is not yet relaxed and b) that there's plenty of room left in the upper torso for my chest to expand. Maybe Ton can put me on the juice :)...
