I am selling brooks buco style J-100 jacket from the late 60s. I haven't seen these jackets in such pristine condition, and bought it knowing it was size bigger. I've lost some pounds and will need to let this beauty go. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Nice Jacket. Nice shape. I do need a black one. However, brook's run like 2 sizes smaller.
I wear size 36 to 38 and I swim in this 40. The measurements are more like loose 38 to fitted 40. No way 36 people can fir into this.

I can understand you. Currently, I have 4 brooks. One is size 40 was great 25 years ago when I was lighter. The 42 was great 15 years ago. Now, I am fat and boring wearing 46 in this jacket. 5.8 183 lbs. size 46 in the j100 gold label brooks.

Interesting - I guess from measurements people can work out what to do. I have never seen a Brooks jacket that wasn't too small. I have owned 5.
