I actually bought and returned this jacket a couple months ago - the pit-pit measures about 22 21.75 inches at the widest point. Way too big for me. I imagine they just measured the front panel seam to seam to come up with 20 inches.
[Edit]
Found the picture I took of the P-P. I didn't record...
Yeah. If it were a fake, the ratio of effort to reward seems off here. A fake that looks this convincing would kind of imply an economy of scale for producing said fakes, and I couldn't find any documentation online of fake Vansons. Seems more likely its legit to me, just because I don't see how...
Courtesy of Claybertrand and the "Finds and Deals" thread, I am now the proud owner of this jacket. Advertised as 18 inch pit-pit, but it was actually 20 inches. It's not exactly a slim fit on me, but I think it works out because of the thick, padded lining. There's also room for layering - so...
Bonus post: I was curious about what the Japanese text on the tags that came with this jacket said, and it turned out to be mostly care instructions. Seems like the outer shell is horsehide though, and the lining is polyester. Pretty sure "pinil" is supposed to be vinyl. Half the care...
I think the fit is fine, but +0.5 inch in the pit-pit would make a big difference in comfort. Certainly not going to stop me from wearing it though - the cool factor of this jacket is just off the charts.
Absolutely! I actually really love natural veg-tan leather and I'm looking forward to...
Lol. Pretty much the opposite trend of what I see on US ebay. If I see any amazing finds in the >40 range, I'll make a mental note to post them to the "finds and deals thread".

Yay! It came! Inner tag says size 36, outer tag says 34. Size is definitely closer to a 34. I think it fits OK...
Thanks! I got notice that it arrived at the distribution warehouse, and paid for shipping. Unfortunately it seems like there's an indefinite hold on Japan-US Air Mail because of Covid stuff, so I might be waiting on this one awhile. -_-
Saw this last night on Buyee, and found I couldn't say no. Here's hoping it actually fits!

Awesome looking jacket, but too small even for me if those measurements are accurate. I'm more of a 19 inch pit-pit, and the sleeves seem really short too.
I keep ogling a size 38 jacket with this same model/makeup on Buyee. Just as well that the width and sleeves seem to be a little too large for me.

Pretty sure it is actually Liberty Horsehide. @tmitchell59 thinks so, and there aren't very many people on this forum that have seen and handled both, so I'm inclined to agree. I'll email the number in the inside of one of the pockets to Bill Kelso to get a definitive answer at some point - just...
