FS: The Flat Head FN-LJ-HS005 Horsehide Leather Single Rider's Jacket Black Size 40

[Anonmoose]

Purchased recently a few months ago, I've resigned myself to the fit being a bit off after wearing and breaking it in at home. Even though I bought it new from Rivet and Hide, there were already some signs of break in. Not sure how long they had it in stock, how many people tried it on, if it was returned, etc. Been putting off selling it since the pattern and leather are both amazing but I guess I can fund another jacket purchase. Plus I still have another single rider style jacket.

Asking $1750 USD Paypal FF + shipping from Canada, also have it listed on Ebay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/407314234558 (Also have some of my brother's Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Ferragamo jackets listed that he wants me to help him sell)

How is the vertical length of 26 inches measured? Is it from the base of the collar to the bottom hem ? Any fit pics that you could share as well?

It's measured from the highest tip of the collar to the bottom from the back. Here's a fit pic, sorry for the dirty mirror. I'm 5'8'' 150lbs.

Thanks. What issue are you finding with the fit?

I just feel that the shoulders and sleeves are slightly too big for me. The way the shoulders sit and drape doesn't feel quite right when I have just a shirt on underneath and I don't like sleeves getting in the way of my hands. Granted the sleeves actually look fine in that fit pic I took there, normally I'd need an extra layer on for them to look like that. Guess it's just the angle.

It was only my second time purchasing a leather jacket like this online and back when I was overweight I never really paid much attention to the fit details. Originally I had wanted the HS001 but Rivet and Hide increased the price on it and other stores don't cover the import fees so I went with the HS005.

OK. Yes, the shoulder measurements do seem a tad larger than what the chest measurements would suggest. In the pic everything looks fine though.
