One for the wee guys - due to another tweed jacket on the way, this one has to go:

Brooks Boys Dept. size 19 two button sack jacket ...

Brooks jacket SOLD

Sanders dark brown Playboy chukka boots
UK 8 1/2
(US 9 1/2 ? Euro 42-43 ish?)
boxed and unworn

(really needed the 9 i think, and didn't get around to changing them!)
100 incl UK postage

oh, and an original m51 parka.

I bought this amazing harrington on ebay over christmas and the bloody seller said 'use the measurements here not the tag size"

his measurements were exactly the same as my favourite vintage model g9 so I bought it but the idiot measured it wrong so it's too small for me in sleeve length.

It's a stunning jacket made for top end retailer Nordstrom in the 80s reversible tan corduroy and blue melton wool. It's stone mint condition.

I just want to get back my £50 that it cost me with shipping if anyone's interested? Free shipping in UK, outside please ask me.

The jacket is marked M for medium and is from a time when Medium was medium and not like a modern one - XL re-badged to make people feel better about their true size.

Those all important measurements are:

Chest 21 inches pit to pit
inside sleeve 19 inches pit to cuff
outside sleeve length 33 inches (measured from centre of neck to cuff like a dress shirt measurement)
overall length 25 (measured down back from base of neck band to bottom waistband)
shoulder width 18 inches - The jacket has raglan sleeves so this is the only measurement that is a guide taken where shoulders should be.
All other measurements are firm!

I'm 6ft 2 inches size 40 and normally wear a Baracuta 40 slimfit or a 42 or L in their much tighter and narrower vintage fit, but for this jacket you should ideally be less than 6ft i should guess.

Really am peeved to have to sell it, but I know it will go to a good home.

There really are NO signs of wear at all, no holes rips, moths, fraying or anything. It looks like the jacket was simply put away in a closet for 25 years or so.

You can pay by Paypal.

Lovely jacket Weejun.  Unfortunately I am exactly the same size as you in Baracutas so it won't work, damn it....

I tried the same jacket on in Beyond Retro on Cheshire Street. The cord is a reeeallly nice colour. A real fab jacket!

HI guys,

yeah, you can all see why I bought it, and I was really pissed when it didn't fit and I checked the measurements the guy gave. 1 inch longer in body and 1 inch on sleeve, which would have been a perfect 'vintage' fit, but there you go.

a LOT of interest on this from behind the scenes I must say. I've been in London all day and just got home so will reply to everyone who PMd me

I have quite a lot of stuff I'ved picked up in recent months that the sellers have mis measured including a beautiful kelly green plaid pendleton S/S BD. It drives me nuts but I can't leave neg feedback cos I spend a lot of time trying to persuade old geezers in the US to please please ship to me in england.

I'll post some more things when I get time over next few days. Would be great if the stuff goes to a good home and happy just to recylce the cost of items.

Hmmmmm - The advert goes or you do. Toss a coin?

The jacket in question is long gone now.

What I'll do now is to ban any MoFo with an advert siggy from here on in. Which means I guess we'll be getting even more of these now ...
Another plan is not to ban any of you but just to rip the piss out of you all instead.
Actually, I think I like that idea more.

So let's start here...

What rude stuff can we say to this poser/poster?

Gentlemen, the floor is yours -

jj

Quite a bit of stuff here so I will post them item by item so I can comment when they've gone.

First up is:

Really nice kelly green plaid Pendleton buttondown with short sleeves and rear collar button and locker loop. Condition is perfect except for small amount of collar grime on the satin inner collar. This should come out with wash, but I haven't touched the shirt since it arrived.

US Ebay Seller measured either blind or in the dark, so I have to sell it on.

Marked M  - 15/15.5 this is definitely a modern Small, sizes are

17" shoulder seam to seam
30" length from back bottom of collar
20" chest
15" collar

£20 + £3 post UK £4.25 EU - anyone else I can quote for.
