Both mine, couple of kids things in there too

Not exactly the kind of bargain I normally look for on Ebay or Etsy, but it's not a completely terrible price for a new, with tags Southwick for O'Connell's herringbone tweed jacket. 40 short. $275.

Oh man, if this was my size it's would be heading home (well maybe if they did a better price on the postage).

^ I am really disappointed in myself. I've just bought that jacket. No doubt it will be on the For Sale/Swap thread in a couple of weeks.

^exactly.

I took a punt as a few of my shirts are 19'' shoulders with 23'' sleeves …my logic (ahem ) being that they fit really well so…

I have never shopped vintage for jackets but this being cheap makes it very low risk. ( Justification, justification…)

Those measurements make no sense, but there is a chance it really is a 38R. Definitely a tasty jacket so worth a gamble.

Great call, Chief

Chief , i think you have done the right thing.

Even if it doesn't fit you should have no problem moving it on as its the business.

You make me feel guilty for adding the link, hope it works out  (fingers crossed).

New modern Brooks flannel shirt…for 99p BIN. Size large but comes up like an XL according to seller

If it's too big then there is the option of getting it hacked down, although I'm dubious.
