Hi, I'm new here but I've been doing some looking around and I'm thinking this is the best place for my questions.
I might buy this Avirex jacket but I have a few questions first.
1. Do you guys think it will fit me? I'm 5'4, pretty thin, have a long torso and my shoulders are 19-20 inches. The jacket is 24" long, 24" sleeves, 22" pit to pit, and has 23" shoulders which I'm worried about. I feel like the shoulders might be too big for me or look too baggy/sloppy considering the sleeves are Already quite long. Im just afraid I'll buy it and it won't fit, it'll be a waste, especially because I've been searching for a good leather bomber for a long time, I just don't have the time to go to a thrift store and see everything in person/try it on.
2. I've seen some of these jackets with a picture of a woman, kind of like a pin up model, on the inside. Does it have any significance? Why is it there?
3. Is this thing worth $500? I was sent an offer today for around $480 but still, is it worth that much? Has some tears on the inside and I know how to sew so I can fix that pretty easily, but that's it.
Thank you! Here are photos
