Himel Heron in Shinki Horsehide -- Size 40

[Avera]

I got one of the Shinki Horsehide Himel Herons sold by Canoe Club but am finding it just a little squeezy on me so am thinking of selling it. I'm 5'8" and 180 pounds -- it fits well everywhere other than that it pulls on the top chest button when I do it up. I have worn it about five times so it is really like new except for some creasing at the elbow inflection points. It's a beautiful jacket. The shinki leather is a perfect brown color. I wore it once up to San Francisco and it literally got comments from everyone I interacted with. These started out at $2,800 on Canoe Club and were eventually discounted to $1,400. I will put it up for this community for $1,250 and then throw it on ebay for $1,400 if it doesn't sell.

Can you post measurements..??

Right! -- Forgot about measurements. I will post them this evening when I get home. Interestingly, it fits like a 42 Mr. Freedom Campus, though a little longer on the torso. I tried the new 2018 LVC Einstein jacket and it fits like a medium in that one. Anyway, measurements coming.

Measurements:
Chest: 22.5"
Shoulders: 18"
Sleeve length: 24.75"

Thank you. Sleeves just too short to fit me.

Avera, I've just noticed that your jacket's size 40 chest measurement (pit-to-pit) looks almost the same as in size 42. Is chest measurement correct here?

IMO this is what a size 40 should be. Correct.

The chest measurement is correct.
