Chesterfield Overcoat

[Senator Jack]

I bought this on Ebay some time ago in the hope that it would fit. Finally getting around to selling it. It's 21" across the chest and it fits like a true 42 which means it's too big for me. Length is 44.5" and sleeve length is 25". Shoulder to shoulder across back is 18.5"

The buttons are cloth-covered and HIDDEN by the placket. The Chesterfield collar has no worn spots and I cannot find any holes in the material. The texture is a wonderful crosshatch. There is an outside breaspocket not visible in the pic, and there is one inside breast pocket. It appears to have been custom made and there are no tags in it except for the tailor's. There is no date, but the art deco design of the button cloth suggests 20s/30s

I'd like to see this on a Lounger. $100 plus shipping takes it away. You know where to find me.

Regards,

Senator Jack

Is that 42" over a jacket. Or a 42" as in 21.5" across the front one inch below the armpit? I am a border 42-44. Nice price though.

Okay, let me clarify that. Measurement across chest from pit to pit, layed flat, is 23". But no way is this coat a 46. It's only a bit too big on me when I'm wearing a vitnage suit (13-14 oz weight)

If only you still had some leftover stuff from your younger days that may fit me, Jack... Oh well- I'm sure we'll do a lot of vintage hunting when I'm in NYU! I'll be hitting Queens every Sunday to visit my grandma.
