***Edited to say: the 40 fits like a 44****
I received this as a fit jacket in June (while shopping for a Bootlegger) and absolutely fell in love with it. Due to my work schedule (and the darned heat), I've been wearing it after my work hours for 2-3 hours each night to break in the heavy steer somewhat. I may or may not have slept in it a few times (if my wife is reading this then I absolutely never did that).
There is NOTHING wrong with this jacket. In fact it's very close to my Grail Jacket. After wearing it for a few months and taking it to Europe with me, I have noticed some little things that I would like to change or modify. Since I can't really modify the jacket, I'm opting to order another one with the slight changes in mind. I was initially against storm cuffs, for instance, but now I kind of want them. And I initially wanted an interior pocket, but now I don't, as an example. If I can't sell it here, I'll likely hold on to it and just wind up with two.
At the moment I'm in Bulgaria, so shipping in Europe should be relatively easy. In about ten days, I'll return to Afghanistan, and will be able to send anywhere in the world via US mail. I'm a non smoker and have no pets.

I will repost the pics I took of the jacket when I asked for opinions on the fit. Should you want new ones, I can supply them.
I would like to get $600 considering the condition of the jacket. I have no idea what shipping from BG would cost, but that fish is still in the river, as they say here.
