Advice on a jacket with odd measurments?

I'm walking this estate sale last night and I grabbed this jacket and took a quick picture before purchasing it for a good price. It's a 1960's tweed jacket made off 100 percent cashmere per the labels inside.

Well it was a bit snug around the armholes, so I took some measurments. It's got a 42 inch chest, but here's the odd thing, it has 17 inch shoulders. Is that not really strange for something that was probably off the rack and a size 40R I'm assuming? Seems really narrow.

Is there likely any room left to let out some fabric in this thing, or was it a bad purchase?
