This is an interest check because I like this jacket and the shoulders fit me well, but it would need a good bit of taking in and maybe shortening to really fit me. It is part of a suit, and I have the pants, but they are wrecked at the hem. I could include them if you want to make an Angus Young costume, or if you have very short legs maybe you could work around that... but they wouldn't work for me.

It's a Chester Barrie jacket, 70%/30% wool/mohair blend, light tan, very nice for summer. Very, very well made, padstitched lapels, subtle pickstitching around the edges, etc. The chest fits like a 41R or 42R but the shoulders are a bit on the narrow side at 18", typical for CB in my experience. It is also slightly long at 31.5" rear length.

2-button, single vent.

If anyone is interested please let me know. I would love to wear this, and I will if no one offers for it, but realistically I know it will be a while before I get around to having it tailored... and since this is the season you'd want to wear this, I thought I'd offer it.
