Looks great. How does this measure up compared to other 42s? Been looking at Branded on ebay but sizing information has been inconsistent between sellers.

P2p is 24
Sleeves are 27

Couldn't get shoulder or body length, but judging by the other measurements and the photos, I pulled the trigger.

I bought the last brown Schott 654 that was in stock on their US website (size small), on sale, for 400$ + taxes, which is a really fair price for a recent new Schott Jacket (about 600 € with taxes and Fedex transportation). I'm not a big fan of cafe racers, but I always wanted a brown one to complete my black Schott 141.

I thought I was through buying new jackets as i have almost no room left for them, but hey, juste one more and I'm finished, right ?

Screw the Buzz. The OG IS unbeatable and now I’ll have a back up to the back up.

Too big for me as well.... but so tempting!

You can get away with a bit oversize with such a jacket especially if you layer

All my LW’s have been 44”. But at a certain point…..I have to draw the line. That is nice though. Really nice.
I figured that I could try this LW for $45 from Japan. Denim and red stitching.

I'm being a bit of a LW fanboy lately.

There's also one in checked black/red wool but not sure how much use it would get here. I might be very tempted.

$45????!!! What? HOW? Stu did a fantastic job copying the Naval Clothing Depot pattern, the collar is just right.
Yahoo auctions and mercari are a gold mine. For some reason second hand garments from very expensive brands go for very low. Except certain ones like Freewheelers but even those sometimes can be had for under $1000 but it’s not worth with shipping and taxes/tariffs.

I will obviously have to add shipping plus taxes, custom duties and tariffs but even then it comes under $150-$200 in total usually. Not that bad for something like that.
