Very hip looking 3/2 cord - http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960s-Mod-Rock-Hippy-Hippie-Preppy-Rockabilly-Corduroy-Collegiate-Blazer-Jacket-/121148163330?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item1c34fe4502

Saw a great jacket similar to that in the thrift recently. It fit me too. Big chunky cord, 3/2, patch pocket. Reasons for not getting:
1. It had mold on it!!
2. Upon seeing me, Mrs. WM stated "Uh... no. That's got mold on it. Plus you look like you probably smell like a big cigarette."
Those measurements do not add up. Chest and sleeve suggest a 40, shoulders are a 38 at most.
Could be he/she just didn't measure properly, the fit looks pretty straight to me.
I don't need a cord jacket but the shoulders are what count anyway. Sleeves and even chest are an easy and inexpensive alteration.

Yeah I saw that one too but I'd really love a tan cord like that deadstock number... somebody jumped on it, no doubt from this little advert.
