[FS] Double Helix Horsehide Type I (Bulldog) Black - Size 44 (fits 40-42)

[Matsumoto]

For sale is my Double Helix type I horsehide Jacket in black, size 44.

Selling to fund a move abroad.

I bought this MTO as a shortened size 44, and it fits pretty much bang on how the Real McCoy's type I does in a size 38.
In my opinion trucker jackets fit best when boxy, and this is jacket exemplifies a great fit for the style.

I had the buttons changed to a laurel style (as pictured) and rivets changed to union made stamped versions, as well as the wool lining replaced with a cupro version, which increases the range of weather conditions one can wear the jacket in.

The jacket has been worn <5 times and remains in excellent overall condition. There is some teacore showing on the right sleeve as pictured, although the jacket arrived in that condition.

Could you measure the waist? Also I have found in the internet that size 44 has p2p 58.5. Is your 55 measurement because of back adjusters strap tightened ? Or the jacket was made customized ? Could you measure the waist and p2p with released back adjuster? The p2p I am interested in is when jacket is laid flat, buttoned and it is the widest dimension. What is your weight and height? Could you send a photo when you wear it?

I've measured the hem and remeasured the P2P, this time without the cinch back tightened. It seemed it thinned the measurements slightly.

The hem comes out to a hair over 53cm, and the chest measurement is actually 57.5, within DH's tolerance for jackets.

I've attached photos of me wearing the jacket too, I'm 184cm and 65kg for reference. Please excuse the measures to protect my privacy!
