Wow, a size 34S with 25" sleeves. That's unusual, and the total coat length is about 29".

The seller ought to say "Hard to find size", because it is

Big shoulders for such a small chest, no?

Seller's right: there should be two inches of slack - a 34R will measure 36"

HI,THE MEASUREMENT OF THE CHEST IS 36 '' AND SUBSTRACT 2 '' IT WILL YOU THE SIZE 34''.

I don't get the crazy equation action, but even if you discount his subtraction, then the actual chest measurement is 38 inches. That won't fit a 38. What am I missing here?

Could we even say it's 'purdey'?
