added cell-phone pix for now.

I've had a couple questions about measurements, but since I'm at work, its tricky to bust out a measuring tape right now. I've collected Edmorel's and chorse's measuremnts of this model in different sizes, so from these you should be able to extrapolate how the 42 fits:

Here is the venerable Edmorel:

For reference, I like a slim jacket and I find that a 38R in the
Morgan is ideal for me ( I am a 40R) as the 40R has shoulders that are
a smidgen too big and the chest and waist are bigger than I like. So
in my experience, Chu cuts a slightly generous jacket, but with nice
shape and supression.

the measurements I have for a 40R and a 38R Morgan jacket are:
40R - Shoulders are 18 7/8 inches, Chest is 44, waist is 41, 30 inch
from the bottom of the collar
38R-
Shoulders - 18.25
Chest - 41
Length from bottom of collar - 30
Sleeves - 25


and here's the equally venerable chorse's Chu 44r
Morgan model:
