Hi there

I have been urged by the Mrs to get rid of some jackets from my collection following the collapse of one of my industrial strength rails due to the shear weight of the jackets.

I have tried my best to take the best photos and included measurements. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.

Many thanks

1. Lewis Leathers Donnington. Size L

The condition is brand new with tags. Bought this jacket a few months ago but it's just too big on me

Measurements are as follows:

Chest (under arm pit to under arm pit when zipped up) size is approximately 23 inches

Sleeves (shoulders to end of sleeves) is approximately 24.5 inches

Shoulders (measured at the back) is approximately 20 inches

Length (under collar to bottom of the jacket) is approximately 30.5 inches

2. Alexander Leathers. Size 38

Bought this last summer and not worn it very much at all because it's a bit too small for me, so it is in excellent condition in my opinion.

The measurements are as follows:

Chest (under arm pit to under arm pit when zipped up) size is approximately 21.5 inches.

Sleeves (shoulders to end of sleeves) is approximately Sleeves 23 inches

Length (under collar to bottom of the jacket) is approximately 24 inches

Shoulders (measured at the back) is approximately 17.5 inches

3. Vanson Model B. Size 46

Had this jacket for a while and it is well worn, although not yet fully broken in. The jacket is in very good condition in my opinion.

Measurements are as follows:

Chest (under arm pit to under arm pit when zipped up) is approximately 23 inches.

Sleeves (shoulders to end of sleeves) is approximately 25 inches.

Shoulders (measured at the back) is approximately 19.5 inches

Length (under collar to bottom of the jacket) is approximately Sleeves 25 inches.

I have some more jackets for sale on eBay and I'll be posting them here also in due time.

In the meantime please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.

Thanks

I recommend you get a soft tape measure, it is impossible to measure sleeves accurately with a rigid tape.
All the sleeve measurements you posted are much shorter than they should be if measured correctly and that will IMO make selling the jackets harder.

It's also a confidence thing IMO, if i see pictures measured with a construction tape i assume the seller has no idea how to measure and all measurements will be wrong. If i see pictures with a soft fabric tape i assume the measurements are closer to accurate.

Many thanks for your advice. I'll try get a soft tape ASAP.

Thanks once again.

How much do you want for the Alexander Leathers? How about the real sleeve length as 23" seems to be too short as mentioned by @Carlos840
