I have a feeling Chicagoland Loungers might be asked to proxy that one... Go Danny, looks like a beautiful jacket.

Never owned a Lewis. For 100 I feel like I can’t go wrong. Not too steep a price to pay.

@dannyk I reached out to the owner of that jacket a couple days ago and we were making plans to ship it to me. I was just going to flip it though, haha. I'll let him know he should work with you instead. Here are the measurements, by the way:

16.5 Shoulder to shoulder.
24 Shoulder to cuff.
19 Armpit to armpit.
16 Across waist.
24.5 Back of neck to bottom.

If you want it’s yours. I have no allegiance or love for it. I just figured for the price not bad. Flip away if you want.

Nah no worries, I think you would be better served by it. I'm not very familiar with the brand and was on the fence about buying it for flipping. There seems to be a large variety of prices these sell at, although all above $100, so I think you're still getting a good deal.

Zoom in on the sleeve zippers. Another French sleeve-job. Literally the first thing I check, whenever I see a Perfecto in France and yep, make no mistake; Shortened sleeves. You can see the stitch holes clearly on this white leather. Be extremely careful when buying a Schott Perfecto from France!

55cm or about 22 inch sleeves according to the description. Gross. Is it a fashion thing?

He really is. He had an awsome jacket on ebay only an closed the listing for me when I messaged him on ebay. ( I didn’t know who it was) he replied in a tfl pm telling me it was him and the rest is history. Awsome jacket he sold me also, very happy with the experience.

Hell if I know but for some reason, it's a thing with Perfectos from France. I have had... Um, musta been three Schott Perfectos with shortened sleeves like that! And that's three out of four that came from France. Can you imagine? And looking at these jackets on Vinted, I'm not sure I'd ever take another risk. I think entire batches of jackets had sleeves shortened back at Schott factory as it's always done the exact same way and quite professionally at that but you can't miss it once you figure out what to look out for. Always check for empty stitch holes somewhere in the middle of sleeve zips. They're there.

Small size Harro. Listed as a women’s jacket, but I’m not sure that’s correct. @Monitor what do you think?

 

[dannyk]

Well if @Kubatu or anyone else wants that jacket go ahead. I messaged them asking about shipping and they responded asking for cash and pick up. I know you mentioned you were working something out but since this is not a grail/must have for me then it’s not something I am intent on negotiating or asking any members here to help with; or paying extra for. Like I said for the price it intrigued me is all. So thanks! but it’s still available for anyone who wants in on it.
