I bought this Sartoria Partenopea sport coat for my dad (size EU52) from Morigi, and the measurements were slightly small in the shoulder (18.5), but I thought it could work or might just be slightly off. It turns out, the shoulders are actually 18 inches, even smaller... and everyway I measure them, it's 18 inches... Does anyone fit this sizing? This isn't exactly an "interest check" because I'm sure I can easily return it with Vittorio, but I'm curious as to the sizing of this jacket.

which jacket did you get? there's something about higher armhole working, but I dont really think it can go from a 19.5 to an 18...

Sure seems like awfully narrow shoulders for such a large chest

Wow that jacket runs small. Is that the same designer for Dior? Dior has always been small in the shoulders and within bounds of normal on chest.

A 54 should, give or take, be around 19" shoulders up to 19.5", and 22" - 23" chest.

It's actually an EU 52, but it still seems off? Although the seem to seem measurement is 18 inches, could it be similar to a roped shoulder where the shoulder extends farther? BOC: 30.5 inches.

Sounds pretty standard for SP. What is the drop?

It's a drop 7. If anyone is interested in buying it before I most likely return it, let me know.

It seems like some of you think the measurements work. If you'd like to buy it, pm me. Although I'm flying out to the ncaa championship game tomorrow and meeting my dad there, I won't be taking the jacket with me for him to try on

. Seeing as I highly doubt it will fit him anyway, I don't want to wait a month to find out
