NWT Abercrombie & Fitch wool blazer - size Large - $75

My wife just bought me this blazer, but it's too big for me (I know I told her to get me a medium!).
Anyways, my loss is your gain (since I lost the receipt)!
$75 through paypal, shipped for this 100% wool jacket - it's navy blue with medium thickness white stripes; has two pockets on the right side, one on the left, 3 button single breasted, 3 working sleeve buttons on each cuff, and one rear vent in the middle!
It's brand new, with the tag still attached - it was only tried on!
As always, everything I sell is 100% authentic or your money back!!
Thanks for looking and good luck!
Mike
443-629-4111

measurements are:
Shoulders: (Shoulder seam to Shoulder seam): 17.5 inches
Sleeve Length: (From Shoulder seam to end of Sleeve):29 inches
Chest: (Flat Measurement x 2):43 inches
Length: (From bottom of rear collar at seam to bottom of Jacket): 32 inches

29 inch sleeve measurement sounds wrong... Unless the jack has especially long arms, it should be really in the 24-26 range.

I just measured it again...and wow, this does sound really weird - the sleeves are indeed 29"!!

I find all AF stuff to have ridiculously long sleeves. It's their thing.

You have the tags on it. Just take it back to Abercrombie and get store credit.

I actually went to switch it out for a medium, but they're all out and there's nothing there for me to buy...it's all punk/ripped up stuff now-a-days!
So, here it is for someone else to maybe take advantage of!

I wish you luck but this is a chalkstripe suit coat with sleeves 3-4 inches too long for 99.5% of the population and working buttonholes so I think it will be a tough sell here. Perhaps you'd have better luck on eBay.

Not trying to burst your bubble, but it's going to be hard to sell that with the sleeves being so long and having working buttonholes. Maybe you should get the store credit and then try to sell the store credit at a discount here.

I thought the working button holes would be a big plus; they're actually pretty cool!?
Why isn't it worth it for someone to pay $15 to get the sleeves shortened?

Because when buttonholes are cut, sleeves need to be shortened from the shoulder and it's a much bigger job. $15 is not enough to shorten sleeves from the bottom, let alone from the shoulder.

Ok...so how about $50 plus paypal and shipping fees - so you'll still have enough money to pay for sleeve fixing!?

uh... no thanks. I'm not trying to haggle with you. I was just trying to give you advice as you seem perplexed about why your suit coat hasn't sold.

Honestly best place to get rid of it is ebay. And yes their sleeves are ALWAYS long on their shirts and jackets. I only pick up their shirts when they are dirt cheap on sale and wear them under a sweater.
