For sale or trade but would rather trade, lost worlds goatskin suburban 44

[Rgcards]

What is your chest measurement? Also, the pit to pit measurement in your photo is hard to see. Is it 24"? It might make a better photo of the jacket was laid flat on the floor when taking it.

Pit to pit to pit is about 23.5. my chest is around 43 sometimes 44.

I have an Aero 30’s half belt size 42 in brown FQHH if you’re interested in a trade?

Sure, send pics and measurements

I'm surprised it doesn't fit you. I have a similar chest measurement, though I'm a few inches shorter than you, and I would have thought a 23.5" pit to pit would fit me. Can you describe the fit issues you have with the jacket? Do you think there is more room in this jacket because it's goatskin?

Also, are there any blemishes on the jacket? The only thing I noticed was *possibly* a failed stitch/hole in the right armpit at the seam, or is that just an artifact in the image?

I just prefer a close fit. This is a boxier pattern so it doesn't taper much. I generally wear jackets with a 22.5 pit to pit. I'm not home right now so I can't look, but I don't remember any flaws

I received the jacket (last Friday) and the *condition* is exactly as described. It is gorgeous. I really like this goatskin. It's heavier than I expected at 5lb 12oz!

@Rgcards thanks for the fast shipping and a great jacket! (even though you missed the first mailing opportunity, but it came in a day early, so it evened out!)

But, the measurements were a little off :-( Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I measure the pit-to-pit at 25", not 23.5". I guess Live and Learn. It's wearable, but it fits me a little big. Is this normal for a LW size 44? Or is a 25" p2p a little big?

I'm going to try to wear it to see how it feels, but I suspect something a little smaller would fit me better. Maybe I need a size 42.

If this is truly a 25" P2P, I'd be interested in it if you're looking to let it go.

I'm still trying to convince myself it fits me , but you'll be first on the list if/when I decide to sell.
