I bought this on ebay a few weeks back and while marked a size "42" it is simply too small for my 40R frame. I can zip it, but can't comfortably wear it. I think it would work well for a 38R or 38S, check measurements.

It is from the University Shop line, which was aimed at the younger set. It is made in England. The coat is in good wearable condition, however note loose threads on the left lower pocket, which could be mended by a cobbler or leather expert. The coat could use some leather conditioner; there is some drying in the shoulder area. All that said, you could take it out of the box and wear it as is. I'd wear it myself if I was a few pounds lighter.

I'm asking $35 shipped before it heads back to ebay in the next couple of days. Paypal please.

chest: 42"
shoulder: 19.5"
bottom of collar to bottom of coat in back: 22.75"
shoulder to cuff: 22.75"

That's pretty damn sick Alan. Unfortunately I'm a 40R as well. I could see that looking incredible with some Skinners.
