For sale: Cordovan CXL Steerhide Bootlegger, size 42 (fits like 44)- Ended

This Bootlegger is about 6 weeks old. I've been wearing it, and the CXL Steer shows marks easily (which is what's awesome about it) but this jacket definitely still has breaking in to do. I'm letting go of it because I want something a bit more trim on me. It's a 42 with .75 inch added to each side panel, for a total of an extra inch and a half in the torso. This jacket will make a bigger guy very happy, or it works great for layering - in fact I almost made the decision to keep it for that.

Measurements in inches are as follows:

Pit-to-pit: 26
Shoulders, seam-to-seam: 20
Sleeves: 28
Body length: 28.5

The hide is Cordovan Heavy CXL Steer. The liner is lightweight Nova Scotia wool tartan. Sleeves are lined in black sateen, pockets lined in moleskin. The jacket has a Highwayman-type V yoke, one interior left pocket with no closure, zip sleeves (which I love), antique brass Talon zips, with ball and chain pull on the chest pocket, olive drab stitching, and no epaulets.

In the six weeks I've worn the jacket, the leather has taken on light weathering and marking, as is typical of Cordo CXL. And it looks great.

(The jacket was made by Sahv at the Aero factory. Her photo is in the Aero bulletin magazine that I'll throw in, along with a wooden Aero hanger. I also still have the 'made by' tag with her signature that was attached to the jacket.)

I'm 6'4, 220 lbs. Chest is 43 or 44, but the jacket is still quite roomy on me. Suit size, I really don't know, sorry. Shirt size I can check when I get home. I can tell you the last suit I bought in 2004, I went to a big and tall store. If that helps? I'll try to get you better info. Thanks for looking.

Edit: Oh, and my waist size is about 40, though I typically wear size 38 pants.

Was hoping the chest was smaller. I have no idea why Aero sizing on the bootleggers are crazy off. Nice jacket but I’d be swimming in it!

Wise decision, it’s remarkably cool jacket/pattern made from noticeably perfect CXL batch, the jacket not to sell but to wear! The beast deserves to keep it!
