How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

GULP...Medium...42"

I'm pretty sure mine is a medium ... that could be trouble, especially if you need to layer under it..

only pic I can find atm. I have a little bit of room but I think this size might be too small on you sadly.

Yeah it's the last they had in that combo...the numbers seem to line up OK...24.8" across the chest and the lengths look good...can you measure yours?

Mine is bang on 23" across pit to pit
Shoulder 18.5

Definitely tagged a medium. Maybe an older version with different measurements?

Hmmm. It’ll be close. Definitely snug. Is this lining really thick? Yours is exactly the jacket I want though...don't like the grey collared version as much...

I ordered a "fashion jacket" for a change[emoji4] It's D73's distressed "Redford." I don't know anything about them, nor the quality of their jackets. I read online that it's made from 1.1mm vegetable tanned/tumbled calfskin. It should be light enough for a cool brisk evening (kinda like a trucker jacket).

Can someone share Dave Shelley’s contact again? I had it once.

Really excited to see Dave bring it back to life. I wore it sparingly and gave it to my sister in 1989 who has worn it whenever the DC and Atlanta weather allows for 29 years. Dave makes it clear that his jacket renovations are not a lipstick makeover but a complete comprehensive over haul. Not cheap but certainly worth it on any valued item. Work will include new knits, mouton, zipper, liner and whatever he feels is necessary.
