Reproduction B3 Style Heavy Sheepskin Jacket

I just picked up this Calafate B3 reproduction from the busy and excellent forum seller Tweedydon, from this original advertisement http://www.thefedoralounge.com/foru...th-updated-measurements-offers-welcome.83863/

I agree completely with the description, and this was in no way misrepresented. Minimal wear and the very small seam split under the arm. Heavy, gorgeous sheepskin. It simply doesn't fit me. I generally wear a 38-40, and I would put this more at a 42 or even 44. I'm 5'10, and this would be better in length for someone 6' or more.

Measurements:

Chest: 24 1/2 (remember, this is a sheepskin jacket, so this figure is higher than a cloth jacket, as it encompasses two layers of fleece!)
Sleeve: 36 1/2 (measured as a shirt)
Shoulder: NA
Length: 28 3/4 (measured from the collar seam, not the edge when folded down).

I'm not looking to profit, but I'd love to get back what I paid, $195. I'll cover shipping CONUS. As always, trades for 40ish size jackets or 9.5D boots will be considered, cash in either direction. Thanks.

Just received the B3, delivered on the 24th. The condition is just as stated and it will make a great jacket, one that is quite warm and will not be babied in the least. It should come in handy when tending the BBQ smoker, in 20°F weather. My wife has already repaired the mentioned small rip at one seam.
Thanks, Navydivedoc!
