Lost worlds a2 size 38 trade

[jeepTj98]

Anyone interested in this horsehide lost worlds a2 jacket? Tag says size 34 but in my opinion, it fits more like a snug 38. The leather is thick, heavy and well made. I don’t want to sell it, I would rather trade for something that will fit me better. I love the quality and feel of this jacket, however it somehow doesn’t fit me right in the arms. It’s just too tight and uncomfortable if I wear it more than a couple of hours. I would like to have another authentic a2 jacket in comparable quality as the lost worlds jacket. I typically wear a size 38 so this one should fit, but it doesn’t… I do like aero a2 jackets and the happy days jacket as well. If anyone is interested in a trade, please let me know.

Are there any measurements, brands or models you’re looking for in particular?

Wow your measurements are exactly the same as my LW A-2 size 38. How large are the armholes? Here's mine:

Yours is a beautiful jacket, I hope it finds a home.

Thank you sir! I love it and it is aging beautifully..just a bit tight in the armpit area. I mean it isn’t a horrible fit and I do enjoy wearing it. You may have just talked me into keeping it lol

No, not the vent holes. What is the measurement for the arm holes? Mine are right at 10in as you can see in the photo. I have no problems with tightness.

I hope you can make it work - it looks fantastic.

If I am measuring mine correctly, the armholes seem to be a little smaller. It is sized as a 34 which is strange because all the measurements indicate a size 38.. in my opinion.

I am 5”7 and usually weigh in at 136 pounds pretty consistently. I do work out so my upper area isn’t completely skinny lol

Oh man, that arm hole does look tight. That's too bad because the rest of it does seem about the same as mine.

I would be tempted to try to stretch that a bit.

Interesting… how would you do that?

How can you tell? When I’m wearing it, I always think it’s kinda big.

I would sit on the ground and put my foot inside the jacket right on the arm hole. Then I would grab the opposite side of the same arm hole (again, inside the jacket) and lean back with my arms straight. Then you can apply pressure with your leg muscles.

But you got be careful not to pop the stitching - definitely don't put your foot on the stitching.

That's what I would try. But gently, maybe just a little at a time.

I stretched the arm holes of my LW Trojan using this technique. It really helped it settle into my body.

But seriously, gently. You got to do it a little and then try the jacket on, then do it a little and try it on, etc.

Ok I know what you mean.. if I end up keeping it I may do that. I appreciate your input.. thank you
