@coldaffinity thanks for the measurements - seller sent them to me shortly afterwards as well. I bought it. The measurements seem to work, but I'll have to see how that matches up to the pattern once it gets in. Ebay is telling me it'll be awhile, maybe even as late as mid-January! If it doesn't fit, anyone here is free to purchase it for the price I paid (although most people on TFL aren't my size).

The shipping cost from Australia was suspiciously low, guess thats why. Still much better than the 90$ it takes to ship from america to europe.
Looking at the proportions, as long as the shoulders are really 18", it should be a comfortable 36.

Wow. If it really is 18" in the shoulders, I'm glad Kubatu snagged it before I talked myself into it. Congrats @Kubatu, hope that jacket works for you.

I asked the seller how thick he thought the leather was and he said “
Not very, not as much as a Schott about 1mm I suppose I don't have great eyesight, but its not light weight I'd call it medium”

Absolutely phenomenal Vanson C2. Looks like an older model. Tag says 38, but if the measurements are accurate this'll fit like a 36 (20" P2P).

You can tell by the graining and slight tea-core effect that this hide is the good stuff. What's interesting is that the belt loops on this one are placed way lower than on the newer model.

If you're after the classic biker/Brando/Perfecto look, I can't think of a jacket better suited for the job. Short of owning a modified Durable perfecto jacket, this is IMO the most bad-ass perfecto styled jacket, it ticks all the right boxes.

Beautiful but seller should've mentioned this has been restitched at the armpits, possibly narrowed and a kidney panel of a sort has been added. It actually looks cooler this way!

From where do you get the impression that it has been restitched at the armpits? I can't spot anything.
