Not sure if this helps, but I hope it does because I knocked over a bag of jelly beans getting that measurement

If you call Nordstrom Bellevue at (206) 628-2111 they stock DVN and are pretty helpful if you need measurements


your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Thinking about it..


These jackets are all about fit, everytime I see them I either think they look awesome or stupid and this opinion seems entirely based on how well they fit the person (keep in mind most of them that I see on the street would be had on the cheap, so fabric wouldn't be a factor in the 'awesomeness', though I guess if fabric was guaranteed to be good the possibilites would be awesomeness+1 or slightly less stupid).

A little off topic, but is that the recent experience of others in the US with DHL? About to kop something from another spot...

Or should I opt for one of the cheaper jackets which may also hold more versatility? I'm only 17. so don't have a lot of money, so if I spend £70 it'd be nice if it still looks cool next year.

Cheers dude

What I meant was I'd like to be sure it won't look completely ridiculous when I want to wear it next summer for instance.

Simion I like that jacket, it looks like a nice alternative to seersucker which I hate and there is no reason why you couldn't wear it year after year. Just make sure the sleeve length is fine or get it altered if it isn't.

was going to say that, my next big purchase is a junya blazer with gingham hidden under the collar/ upper lapel. could look great if you have necessary swag.
