End of Summer Sale - budget jackets, denim and trousers

[Mulceber]

In the interest of clearing out some closet space, I've put together some items to let go of. Some of them I've sized out of, some of them have become closet queens after I acquired other jackets, and some of them were closet queens from the get-go. Whatever the case, I'm looking to move them along. All prices are for shipping in the United States. I'm willing to consider shipping internationally, but for many of these it may not be worth the added hassle for both of us. Paypal F&F please.

Jackets:

Branded Orchard military issue A-2 size 44L, early '90s: purchased this one a year or two ago because I wanted to see what the modern A-2s are like. The goatskin has aged nicely. It's a good addition to the jacket collection, and the only reason I'm selling it is that it's too big on me. I could probably handle a 42L or a 44R, but 44L is a bit much. Condition is pretty good, with a bit of pilling on the knits and a few nicks that were there when I got the jacket, and which I suspect came from the original owner. There are also stitch holes from where the name plate would have been. This would make a nice beater jacket, starter jacket for a newbie, or just an interesting addition to your collection. $100 shipped in CONUS.

pit to pit: 23.25 inches
shoulders: 20.75 inches
back: 26.75 inches
sleeves: 26.5 inches

Bob Dong B-10, size 42: pretty much a closet queen now, and is in like-new condition, as far as I can tell. A great budget cloth flight jacket option. Plus, every time you post it, you get to make dirty jokes. $85 shipped in CONUS.

pit-to-pit: 23.5 inches
shoulders: 20 inches
back: 25.5 inches
sleeves: 25.75 inches

Bronson B-15A, size 40: similar situation to the Bob Dong jacket. Great jacket, but it doesn't get much wear, both because it's a little bit small on me and because it's since been superseded by a BR B-15. These jackets are currently sold out on Bronson's website. Condition is like new. $140 shipped in CONUS.

pit-to-pit: 23.5 inches
shoulders: 19 inches
back: 24.5 inches
sleeves: 26.5 inches

Trousers & Jeans: all trouser waists are measured lying flat, with the waist pulled tight, so that the front lines up perfectly with the back. Then the waist is measured across and the measurement doubled to get the circumference.

SMW P-41 HBT Trousers, size 36: bought these and promptly gave them the high-heat wash treatment, but they were STILL too big for me. I've since bought a pair of 34s, which, while still large, are a better fit. If you're interested in getting a pair of HBT trousers but want to take the guess-work out of getting the size right, these are a great option. $65 shipped in CONUS.

waist: 37 inches
inseam: 32.5 inches
front rise: 14.5 inches

Another picture that captures how the color looks with a little less direct sunlight:

Bronson non-stock 15 oz heavy denim size 38: I bought these when I was just getting into selvage. The quality is solid, and they're a nice step up from your typical pair of Levis, but they were probably a bit big on me to start with and in the last year or so I've shed a few pounds, so they're now solidly too big for me. They've been washed once, after several months of wear and are just starting to show a bit of whiskering. They also have a leather patch that I added on to replace the cheap paper one that they had. $35 shipped in CONUS.

waist: 38 inches
inseam: 32.5 inches
front rise: 13.5 inches

Freddie's of Pinewood 1940s jeans, size 40R: similar situation to the previous jeans. Bought these before I really knew what I was doing with denim, and since I dropped a pants size they're definitely too big for me. I bought these before I had done any reading on washing denim, so they've been washed several times and they have what I'll charitably call vintage style fades. The website describes them as "40s style," but what with the back belt and the unconcealed rivets on the back pockets, '30s style might be more accurate. $45 shipped in CONUS.

waist: 38 inches
inseam: 32.5 inches
front rise: 13.5 inches

Bronson Gurkha Pants, size 12: really a neat design of trousers, but I've gone down a size and so they don't really fit me anymore. Plus, I have a pair in the next size down that fit comfortably. Worth a try for someone in the right size just for the unusual built-in belt. $35 shipped in CONUS.

waist (belted to the third belt loop, which is where they seem to fit most naturally): 38 inches
inseam: 31 inches
front rise: 13.75 inches
