My concern wasn't the shoulder width, it was the p2p. Fine Creek runs small and a 20-inch p2p would be tight for a size 38 and about right for a size 36. You normally want 3-4 extra inches around the chest. You say you're 5'8, 175. Unless you have tree trunk legs and a very thin upper body, I find it hard to believe that a jacket with a 20-inch p2p would fit you.

I thought I saw that here! I must have done my usual “look for it” and didn’t find it.

I told the seller I was going to pass due to fit concerns and he said with his 18” shoulder it’s snug on him. I guess it’s why he’s selling. Too bad. It looks to be a nice jacket.

My rule is if its looks to be a gamble on size then it has to be at a low enough price that I know I can pass it along without too much loss. Sounds like the right call on this one.

I like that rule. Its why I started this thread. I just don’t know how much I could get for this jacket if it didn’t fit. I don’t have enough experience. When I sell my Maxwell I think I can get about what I paid for it so feel good about that. I have no idea with this jacket.

Actually a great price for this jacket. You could prob sell it on Grailed for way more with better photos.

Thanks. I let the seller know. It seems like a nice jacket.
