Fine Creek Leather Leon Custom Sz 44

[BloodEagle]

Hello all - As title, Fine Creek Leathers Leon Custom (comes without the epaulets and belt, or cutoff parts) in Sz 44. Fits like a 42(or more accurately a 43 if such a size where commonplace) so is now realistically a bit too small for my 6'2 frame. Really cool looking jacket, purchased last December for £1700, not worn all that much, but a fair amount of aging - that being the whole point of these jackets. it has got some awesome looking patina at the usual high wear points, but is in great condition with a full satin liner and extremely comfortable fit all over. Has one small pinhole on the left collar where a badge was, but given the intended overall look of these jackets it is barely noticeable. There's a lot written online about these jacket, but suffice to say if you want a cross zip that looks, fits and hangs like the ones you've seen in pictures of cool rock bands this is the one - my wife calls it my Ramones jacket, and thats fairly accurate. Based in the UK but happy to ship anywhere - £950 inc delivery domestically, overseas buyers message me and we can sort something out.

Oh man if I hadn’t
Just bought a new jacket ….
So that chest measurement is pit to pit to the seam armpit ?

Thanks BloodEagle. It's close but I probably need a 42 fitting like a 40 rather than a 44 fitting like a 42. Beautiful jacket though. GLWS
