This is a Vietnam era mens military issue pea coat. It is in decent shape, in a very hard to find larger size. It is labeled 44R and it fits identically to another pea coat I am selling here in much better condition. This one is a 3-button double breasted model typical of this era. It was...
This is a World War II era mens US Navy issue pea coat. It is in fantastic shape, in a very hard to find larger size. There is no label for manufacturer or sizing but I have another Pea Coat for sale here which is labeled 44R and it fits identically. This one is a 4-button double breasted model...
I'm selling this jacket as it is a size 44 and I usually take a 40-42. While this is a snug 44 and more or less works on me as far as chest and shoulders fit, it's just too long in the body and sleeves for me (I'm 5' 8"). I bought it on the bay only recently and would love to keep it but I just...
Hi all,
I have a few size 44 jackets that are just too big on me and am selling some now that cooler weather is approaching. I am 5' 8" and 175 pounds; basically a 40-42 suit and jacket, and for reference, I usually take a medium t-shirt or a Slim Fit 16.5 neck/ 34" sleeve dress shirt.
Here...
Chest (jacket button, laid flat, measure pit to pit): 620mm/24.5"
Shoulders (seam to seam across widest part top from rear): 545mm/21.5"
Rear length (From top of collar to bottom hem): 26.25"
Sleeve length (measured like a dress shirt, center of collar down outside of arm to cuff end): 37"
This is a nearly-new, Mens Lee jean jacket from the mid 1970s. I bought this jacket NOS, looking like it belonged on the rack in a store, selling as new. I've worn it maybe a dozen times, but am selling as I've lost weight and it is just too big for me.
It is a rarer model called "Lee Set" with...
Well, the "return" deadline came and went...and the jacket is hanging in my closet now.
I'd hoped to have lost enough weight to wear it last weekend and ring in 2017 in style, but while I'm slimming a little already from running, I'm not quite there yet. The shoulder vents don't puff out as...
I am hardly an expert but I'll take a crack at this till more knowledgeable folk chime in.
First - I'm seeing at least three different styles of pants in those photos. The first two pics look like different styles and the last few look similar to each other. Are these family pics, btw? Very...
Thanks Edward - fwiw in my case that was with the jacket zipped - unzipped I can get to the pockets ok.
Good news is , I am already losing weight from all the running...just can only lose so much before the deadline for returning...
Here's a few more images, trying to show the bulging of the gussets at the rear of the shoulders, and some pulling/tight fabric at the front of the armpit area. One other thing I noticed is that it's tough for me to get my hands to the side slash pockets, due to the snugness at the...
Much to my chagrin, being that I travel almost everywhere by bicycle, over the years I've gradually moved away from jeans, khakis and other casual street clothes m-f to riding in almost exclusively cycling or workout stuff. Yes, I mean *shudder* sweatpants. I keep a change of clothes at work...
No apologies, I appreciate the honest opinions!
The only uncomfortable area is the armpit/lower front of the shoulders. Yep, a little tight on the gut when zipped at present, but I'm training for a half marathon in the spring, so that will almost surely be addressed (how long I can keep the gut...
I'm feeling much better about keeping it now - that's how I was leaning but since even with the sale it wasn't a cheap jacket by any means, I wanted to get some opinions. Any other thoughts are welcome.
Thanks guys. AeroFan, I have always struggled with weight, which is funny, since I workout more than anyone I know. (i.e. not a professional/sponsored athlete, F/T desk job, etc.) My downfall, of course, is that I simply eat too much (doesn't help that I married a very good cook, but since I was...
Just a wedding ring for me, although I think like most things it depends on the individual, the type of attire they are matching to their jewelry and how much confidence & self-assurance they project while wearing it all. At the risk of being sexist, however, I feel generally speaking, less is...
