"pit to pit" measures 18"


You might want to do another take; 18"(laying flat) sounds like chest measurent for a size 34 jacket. Please do a search over at AAAC for A. Harris sport coat measuring guide.

Given my uncertainty on how to accurately measure certain elements of the jacket, I'm going to refrain from selling this item on SF. I only want very satisfied buyers of the stuff I'm selling, and I would hate a mis-measurement on my part to lead to any confusion. I will instead head to a consignment shop, and stick to selling shirts and ties here!

Thanks for the interest.
