He obviously does not know how to measure p2p. Shoulder width is 20 inches, p2p cannot be 19....
That measure could very well be taken with the jacket unzipped. I think they just plopped the jacket on the ground and took some random measures. But you're right, they are just guessing

Edit - See attached. Take these measurements with a grain of salt

I can proxy for you if you are really interested in it. This is a nice keeper. This label was made for the law enforcement community. That shop was full of top-of-the-line goodies.

The Louis-labeled Cal I owned was crazy nice. IMO nicer than almost every other Cal I have owned. This is a great jacket.

To those asking about AB- Cals never had ABs. Shoulder gussets sometimes. AB’s in this style look to Langlitz.

After the vague sizes given to me by the seller, and despite images/explanations of how to take a pit to pit measurements, the seller of the jacket is not being truthful about the measurements of the jacket. I think he is being this way because his jacket is smaller than what he advertised. I asked him straight out about the pit to pit and he keeps on stating the jacket is a 22 to 23.

Not cool.

I sent him a message before asking him to zip up the jacket to take the pit to pit. But this seller has a reselling background. Furthermore, I think the jacket is on the short side.

I bought it cause I'm clearly an idiot and a gambler. Bless refund policy - you might see this one back up here or on eBay soon. I'll post real measurements if it doesn't fit

Edit - Also if it ain’t fit then I’d obviously sell it here for what I paid for it, if anyone is interested. Gracias

You are not an idiot, you are smart because you want one of the best jackets ever made. I really hope it fits.
